In addition, Drohobitch did not allow him to leave, telling him that he would not be able to cross the border back to Russia on his own. Nonetheless, during the three years he was living there, Jacob received an informal education in history, math and German from fellow boys who were enrolled in school there. It was there that he was exposed to socialist politics for the first time. After three years, when it came out that Jacob had been brought to Brody under false pretenses and forced to stay by Drohobitch, he was allowed to return home to Kremenetz. When he returned he was sixteen years old and felt out of place; he rejected an offer to become a butcher's apprentice, preferring to work in his father's carpentry workshop and study music, Russian and politics on his own time.

and remarried to
Schaefer in New Jersey, and took up leadership of his choirs and orchestras there once again. However, he was arrested on the complaint of Simon Steinberg as the divorce paper from Mexico was not considered valid. It was only after the New York and Chicago singing societies raised a large amount of money to pay off Steinberg that he finally dropped his complaint. He and Lena returned to New York. Another difficulty in 1929 was that Lazar Weiner, founder of the New York section who had still been sharing conducting duties with Schaefer, came into a dispute with the Communist Party after preparing a programme for the Socialist Party. Weiner was expelled from the party and lost his leadership role in the

There was even the suggestion of a Soviet tour by his New York choir, although it never happened in the end. Upon his return to New York in May 1933 the choir gave another concert at Carnegie Hall; Schaefer also toured around Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, and various other places. After 1933 Schaefer was also a member of a left-wing composer's organization called the Composers Collective which included

He met a man named Kerish in the carpentry workshop who shared his interest in music and who helped him get his first music gigs. Jacob soon started working as a substitute singer and part time synagogue choir director, and continued to study music theory under a local musician named Samuel Epstein. It was through his new higher-paying music jobs that in 1911 he was able to purchase his own piano for the first time in his life.
546:. And the following year a biography of Schaefer was published by the Jewish Workers Music Alliance. It was written by Israel Ber Bailin, a longtime friend of Schaefer's who had been involved in politics with him in Chicago and had long promised to write his biography. Other books published by the Alliance came out in later decades, including a collection of Schaefer's compositions entitled

Finding Kremenets an unsatisfactory environment for that, and not being able to get away from the hostility of her family, they traveled to

The choir soon grew quite large under his leadership and had several notable concerts of his works. It performed some of the pieces he had composed in Chicago such as

singing societies. The
Alliance also published Schaefer's arrangements, partly to allow far-flung affiliate choirs to perform them, and also consulted with them about musical or organizational issues. For a time in 1928 he returned to Chicago once again with Lena, who had obtained a divorce in Mexico
359:
During 1922–3 he lived with a couple named the
Steinbergs; the wife, Lena (Leah) was a member of the choir and her husband Simon (Schlomo) was an administrative supporter although not a singer. During that time he and Lena began a relationship and she left Simon, causing several years of very public

and other staples of socialist gatherings. After that, he entered into an ideological dispute with the choir's backers and did not compose any major works again until 1920. The gap in composition during that time is also sometimes attributed to the unexpected death in
January 1917 of his wife Sonia,

Drohobitch arrived in town; Jacob's mother convinced him to take on Jacob as a student and assistant, and he soon became the soloist in Drohobitch's choir.

In his first few years in
Chicago he made a few unsuccessful attempts to found secular choirs. One of them in late 1911 was funded by the Hebrew Institute, which at that time was trying to attract a younger membership. However, the Institute reacted poorly to the workers' songs the choir was

schools and studied music theory under David Menes. He returned to
Chicago in 1919, where he founded a socialist symphony orchestra and resumed leadership of the singing society. He brought his mother to Chicago in 1920, but she fell ill within six-month and died.
234:
It was in 1914 that
Schaefer decided to leave carpentry behind and devote himself completely to music. During the summer of 1914 there were extensive discussions among Jewish socialists in Chicago about the idea of founding a politically active singing society
