His first post was as a hazzan in Zhitomir, but stayed there only a few months before he was offered a position as hazzan of Vilna. During World War I, Hershman was drafted into the Russian army, but it is said that his officer was so impressed by his tenor voice that he released him from duty so that he could return to his community in Vilna.

In 1920, he emigrated to the United States where he was took a position as chief hazzan at the Beth El Temple in Brooklyn, New York. During his time at Beth El Temple, he continued to tour throughout America, Europe and Palestine. As was customary of noted hazzanim of the time, Hershman released several records of cantorial and Jewish folk music.
