https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bukowinabook/buk1_051.html: " The community was formed and an executive committee was chosen on August 23, 1872. Rabbi Benjamin Arje Weiss (1841 – 1912), a student of the Lemberg Rabbi Josef Schaul Natansohn and Rabbi Mordechai Wolf Ettinge were appointed on August 25, 1872.

Rabbi Weiss was a recognized expert in halachischen [M] matters. His responses appeared after his death in two volumes (Przemysl 1914). He also wrote dramatic poetry in three volumes (Chernivtsi 1880).

Although Rabbi Weiss was orthodox, his viewpoint was moderate and tolerant and he tried to maintain peace in the Jewish community. Dajan Berger supported him in his efforts although at first it was not easy for him."
