Dear Shlomo, Let's try together to uncover your family secret. The "Jubilee Edition Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the [Czernowitz] Temple, Chanukah 5698 / November 28, 1937” is probably the most valuable source when it comes to researching religious practice in Czernowitz:
http://czernowitzbook.blogspot.com/2014/07/blog-post.html This bilingual book (Romanian/German) is a unique bibliophilic rarity, as far as I know there are no more than two copies in the world. My copy, by courtesy of the National Library of Israel, was the very first book I put online in the Czernowitz Book Corner: http://czernowitzbook.blogspot.com On page 28 you will find the article “The Temple and its Preachers” by Dr. Mayer Ebner. With the help of the transcription, you can use an online translator if necessary. Good luck with your research and warmest wishes!

This was in the 1930’s. The couple went to Palestine but then got divorced. The woman returned to Czernowitz and the man joined the Russian army during WWII. How might I find a list of the chief rabbis of Czernowitz during the period 1920-1940? I’d appreciate any suggestions you could provide. Many thanks and all the best, Shlomo Shyovitz ******************************************************************************* This moderated discussion group is for information exchange on the subject of Czernowitz and Sadagora Jewish History and Genealogy.
