=== Second generation === After Salanter's death, the Musar movement was led by his disciples, who developed the movement in various ways. Salanter's eldest disciple, Rabbi [[Simcha Zissel Ziv]], directed yeshivas in [[KelmΔ|Kelme]] and [[Grobin]]. These yeshivas broke with established models of yeshivot in a number of ways, especially by devoting significant time to the study of musar and by teaching general, non-Jewish studies.<ref>Geoffrey Claussen, ''Sharing the Burden: Rabbi Simhah Zissel Ziv and the Path of Musar'' (Albany: SUNY Press, 2015), p. 7</ref> Simcha Zissel also wrote discourses that deeply engaged questions of moral virtue and gave particular attention to the importance of love for others.<ref name=":1">Geoffrey Claussen, ''Sharing the Burden: Rabbi Simhah Zissel Ziv and the Path of Musar'' (Albany: SUNY Press, 2015), p. 8</ref> A second student of Salanter's, Rabbi [[Yitzchak Blazer]] became the chief rabbi of St. Petersburg in 1861β1862; he later led the [[Kovno kollel]]. Blazer also published many of Salanter's writings. A third leading disciple of Salanter, Rabbi [[Naftali Amsterdam]], became the chief rabbi of [[Helsinki]].
