Shelley, Gary...
On the occasion of my last year's journey to Bukovina I've released a post on "Toynbee Hall, a Jewish Educational Institution, Erected a Century Ago in Czernowitz"
http://hauster.blogspot.de/2013/10/toynbee-hall-jewish-educational.html
which might be interesting for you. In the press review I've highlighted the names of the participants to the opening ceremony on November 17, 1913. Enjoy the posting!

The program encompassed political, economic and cultural issues.
