Chaim Chissin, sometimes spelt Hayyim Hisin, (1865-1932) was a Belarus-born emigrant to Palestine (now Israel), who first arrived in 1882. He was a member of Bilu, and a co-founder of Ahuzzat Bayit, later Tel Aviv.[1] His diary was translated from Russian into English in 1976.[2] The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles noted that he wrote about his experience with "poverty and desperation."[3]
He is the namesake of Hisin Street in Tel Aviv.[citation needed]
