Eliyahu Dessler, who was known throughout his life as Eliyahu Leizer or Elya Lazer, was born in 1892 (5652) in Gomel.[2] His father, Reuven Dov Dessler,[1] was a disciple of one of the main leaders of the Mussar movement, Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv, best known as the Alter (Elder) of Kelm. Rabbi Dessler would later speak in fond terms on the study and self-perfection in the Kelm yeshiva. While it is difficult to determine which teachers had most influence on Rabbi Dessler, it is apparent that he is a child of the yeshiva world of the early 20th century, which was then influenced heavily by the ethical Mussar movement, but has similarly gained proficiency in Kabbalah and works of Hasidic Judaism and Jewish philosophy. ^ a b "Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler".	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7545.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7545.txt
