Was considered one of the leaders of the Chabad community in Israel in general and Tel Aviv in particular. In 1936, Rabbi Zislin suggested to the Admor the Rayatz to write down sheet music of the varied Chabadic Nigunim, on which Sefer Hanigunim was later based. In 1949, Rabbi Zislin came up with the idea of establishing a settlement for the Chabad Chassidim who were immigrating to Israel; the idea was later realized with the establishment of Kfar Chabad.
