Rabbi Yosef Zundel Salant died due to the plague on Friday, October 12, (3rd Cheshvan) 1866 and was buried on the Mount of Olives. Among the many instructions that Rabbi Zundel mentioned in his will was that no eulogies be held for him, and no titles should be added to his name on the tombstone. Rabbi Yisrael Salanter, the founder of the ethical Musar movement and prime student of Rabbi Zundel, is recorded as having said: I have not found a true servant of God like my mentor Rabbi Zundel!.
