In 1824 Levison was appointed tutor at the Jewish school in Copenhagen, in which position he remained till within two years of his death. He published several religious educational works, of which the following may be mentioned: "Kortfattet Forklaring over Lærebogen i Religionen for Ungdommen af den Mosaiske Troesbekjendelse" (Copenhagen, 1825); "Bibelske Fortællinger" (ib. 1827); a Jewish prayer-book, with Hebrew text and Danish translation (ib. 1833). Levison translated into Danish Bulwer Lytton's "Paul Clifford."
