He was the head of the relief organization of the Jewish Centralwohlfahrtstelle. From 1933 until his emigration in 1939 to Tel Aviv, Lichtenstein was the head of the Danzig Jewish Community and he was also editor of the Jüdische Gemeindeblatt. In 1953, he started to practice law in Israel and primarily represented the Danzig Restitution and Reparation cases against Germany.
