The Gaon Rabbi Yosef Zundel of Salant (1786-1865), the father and founder of the Mussar movement, was a student of Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin and the rabbi of Rabbi Yisrael Salanter. His son-in-law, Rabbi Shmuel Salanter, the chief rabbi of Jerusalem, extolled him as a “rabbi of exemplary character and vast knowledge, proficient in the hidden and revealed Torah alike, the greatest of his generation, whose amazing humility enabled him to conceal his greatness.” In his later years he made Aliya to Jerusalem and served as a teacher in the Ashkenazi community there.
