Beginning in 1956, Orgad was employed by the Israeli Ministry of Education, in the department of its school of music. His musical works consist primarily of choir music and songs, although he also wrote orchestral works and chamber music.

In 1952, he received the Kussewitzky Prize of UNESCO and in 1961 the Joel Engel Prize of the city of Tel Aviv.
