Salant

Salant (Lithuanian Salantai), a small town in northwestern Lithuania, is closely tied to the origins of the Mussar movement. It was the home of Rabbi Yosef Zundel of Salant, a disciple of Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, who was the principal teacher of Rabbi Yisrael Lipkin; the latter came to be known as 'Salanter' after the town where he first achieved renown.
