Solomon studied the sermons of contemporary Christian preachers, which influenced his own exposition. As one of the most eloquent Jewish preachers of the 19th century, he lectured in London, Frankfurt, Vienna and Prague, and in the 1840s participated in rabbinical conferences in Braunschweig, Breslau, Frankfurt am Main and Leipzig. He fought for the emancipation of the Jews and wrote a pamphlet against Bruno Bauer .

In 1837 he published the second Jewish translation of the Bible in German after Salomon Jacob Cohen, the German People's and School Bible for Israelites, benefiting from the collaboration of Isaak Noah Mannheimer and financial support from Salomon Heine .

Salomon opened the New Israelite Temple in Poolstrasse in 1844 , where he worked until 1858. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge Zur Aufstieg Morgenröthe in Frankfurt am Main and honorary member of the Lodge Zum silbernen Einhorn in Nienburg as well as a member of the Association for Culture and Science of the Jews .

In 1848 Salomon was elected to the constituent assembly (" Hamburger Konstituante ") in Hamburg as a member of the Liberal Electoral Association.
