The poems written to his brother <<pertain to life in America.>> Other poems refer to R. Moshe Chaim Luzatto and to the Haskalah poets Naphtali Herz Wessely, and Adam Hacohen Levinson. All written in an especially clear attractive script.
According to Beryl Kagan, Shtet, Shtetlach…in Lita (1991) p. 241, R. Yehuda Leib Ginzburg published an article in HaLevanon and was a member of the Mekitzei Nirdamim Publication Society.
