Weiss's work, which showed great originality, focused primarily upon the early stages of the Hasidic movement with a special emphasis upon Rabbi Nachman of Breslov.[3] His work, three volumes of which were published posthumously, utilizes a combination of both intellectual and social history. His closest student was Professor Ada Rapoport-Albert, who continued his work at University College London. His son was the poet and translator Amos Weisz.
