Yisrael Salanter
Rabbi Yisrael Lipkin, better known as "Rav Yisrael Salanter", (1810- February 21883) was the father of the Mussar movement in Orthodox Judaism and a famed Rosh yeshiva and Talmudist. The epithet Salanter was added to his name due to the influence on his thinking by Rabbi Yosef Zundel of Salant.
