From 1955 until 1966 Virshubski worked as a legal advisor to
Mekorot, before becoming Tel Aviv City Council's legal advisor, a job he held until 1977. In 1974 he was amongst the founders of
Shinui, and was re-elected on the Ratz list in
1988, after which he became a
Deputy Speaker. He lost his Knesset seat in the
1992 elections, shortly after Ratz had formed the
Meretz alliance with Shinui and
Mapam. He ran for the Tel Aviv mayoralty again in
1993, but finished fourth with 3.6% of the vote. He subsequently served on Tel Aviv City Council as a member of Ratz and later of
the Greens. After retirement from electoral politics, he was a chairman for an umbrella organization of groups representing the disabled and was a board member of the Association of Israelis of Central European Origin. == Personal life and death ==
