Rav Yehoshua Zelig Diskin was the Rav of Pardes Chana. He was born in Chislavichi, the son of Rav Shimon Moshe Diskin (1872–1930), mechaber of Medrash Shimoni. Rav Yehoshua wrote the preface to his father’s sefer, entitled Toldos HaMechaber. His son, named for his father, Rav Shimon Diskin (1932–1999), was born in the town of Periaslov in the Kiev region of the Ukraine where Rav Yehoshua Zelig was Rav. The Diskin family is descended from the Maharal of Prague and the Chavos Yo’ir.
