Rabbi Chaim Meshulam Kaufman, also known as Utterman [1861-1924], was among the famous rabbis of Poland, a disciple of the Admo"r Rabbi Meir Yechiel of Ostrovtza and of Rabbi Chaim Eliezer Wax of Petrikov, author of Nefesh Chayah. He served as rabbi in Ratziondzh and then in Gostinin, as well as in Pultosk. He established a yeshivah and led it. He is known for his work Petach HaOhel, and he also authored Eleh HaMitzvot, Nes LaShoshanim, Eleh HaEdot, and Eleh HaMishpatim. In his book Mikveh Taharah (Warsaw, 1914), there is a polemic about the suitability of a mikveh. It includes a lengthy responsum sent to him by Rabbi Yosef Rosen of Dvinsk ["The Rogachover"] in which he addresses him using exalted titles.

Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Weinberg (1923 - 1999). In 1945, Rabbi Weinberg married Shaina Chana Ruderman, the only child of Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman, founder of the Ner Israel yeshiva. They had two boys and four girls. Rabbi Weinberg excelled in Talmudic scholarship, as a rabbinical advisor and in teaching ability. Weinberg eventually succeeded his father-in-law as the main rosh yeshiva of Ner Israel yeshiva, but not before undertaking a number of other rosh yeshiva positions. Rabbi Weinberg has 40 grandchildren.

In 1964, Rabbi Weinberg went to the Yeshivas Ner Yisroel of Toronto originally the Toronto branch of Ner Israel, where he served as dean until 1971. He then returned to Baltimore but went on to serve for a short time as rosh yeshiva at the now defunct Kerem Yeshiva founded by his son, Rabbi Matis Weinberg, in Santa Clara, California. However, following the death of his father-in-law, Rabbi Ruderman, he became the permanent rosh yeshiva of Ner Israel in Baltimore in 1987 until his death in 1999.
