*In the years around 1918, there appear to have been several rabbis who served B’nai Zion for very short terms.  Rabbi Zaiman does not appear on any of the lists of Rabbis from which this master list was compiled, but his family contacted B’nai Zion with evidence that he was one of the rabbis in that time period.
