Rabbi Simcha Mordechai Ziskind Ziv (1824-1898) was the son of Rabbi Yisrael Brody, descendant of Rabbi Avraham Brody of Frankfurt. He was a talmid under Rabbi Yisrael of Salant and was a leader of the Mussar movement. He led the Talmud Torah in Chelm and became known as the Saba of Chelm. After his marriage at a young age he moved to study under Rabbi Yisrael of Salant in Kovna. After Rabbi Yisrael of Salant moved to Germany Rabbi Brody moved to Chelm and would study torah all day and only sleep about 2.5 hours per night. After many years he established the Talmd Torah.
