With the outbreak of the Second World War, he was uprooted from his breeding and education as a youth, but he grew up and became a man during this turbulent period, joining the ranks of the Jewish partisans and fighting against the Nazi occupier. At the end of the war he found out that only he and his sister had survived from his entire extended family. His sister stayed in Russia and Yaakov immigrated to Israel. The British seized his ship and he was sent to a detention camp in Cyprus. When he arrived in Israel, he was accepted as a guard at Nesher near Haifa.
