Rabbi Gershon Posen (1853-1932) was a genius in the Torah and a great talmid hakham, who served as Rabbi and Dayan in Frankfurt for many years. He was also a rabbi of the Kloiz Society in Frankfurt, a disciple of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Breuer in Hungary, his father Rabbi Eliezer Lizer Posen was one of the first 11 to sign Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch to separate the Orthodox community from the general community.

Rabbi Asher Michael (Arthur) Cohen - (5622-5676), one of the leading leaders of Swiss Jewry, was the disciple of Rabbi Azriel Hildesheimer, and at the age of 24 was ordained rabbi and was appointed rabbi of Basel, where he served for 40 years. He dealt with halakha with the greatest of his generation, such as Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor and Rabbi Kook. In 1897, Rabbi Cohen invited Herzl to hold the First Zionist Congress in his city, following the opposition of rabbis from various circles (Orthodox and Reform) to the Munich Congress (as planned in the first place). Rabbi Cohen also took an active part in Congress and even spoke. Rabbi Cohen was one of the initiators of "Agudat Israel" and one of the first rabbis in Germany to call on the ultra-Orthodox to unite. He participated in the founding conference of Agudath Israel in Katowice and was the first speaker at the opening conference.
