Beer-Bing was appointed to the commission headed by Malesherbes to improve the status of the Jews in 1788. In 1799 he drew up a memorandum on the community of his birthplace Metz.

Beer-Bing translated the Phaedon of moses mendelssohn from German into French and Hebrew (Sefer Hasharat ha-Nefesh, 1786–87, republished many times), a Song of Zion by Judah Halevi from Hebrew into French, and a fragment from the Beḥinat Olam by jedaiah ha-penini (in Essai sur la régénération… des juifs by his friend the abbé Grégoire , 1789). -BIBLIOGRAPHY: E. Carmoly in: Revue orientale, 2 (1842), 337f. (Moshe Catane)
