In Liska, one of the holiest places on earth, special moments abound as the deep and blessing-laden prayers recited at the grave of the great tzadik, Rebbe Hershele Lisker zt"l, resonate with the faithful.
This prayer asks for recovery for the ailing, wealth for the needy, and harmony and health for the people of Israel and all of humanity. Liska has always been a special place in the Jewish world, as it was here that the Liska Rebbe built the famous synagogue, which was among the largest in Europe at the time. The legacy of the town and the tzadik continues to thrive within Jewish communities, drawing many who visit to seek blessings in line with the Kivrei Tzadikim tradition.
Among the revered Hasidic leaders, Rebbe Hershele Lisker (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער), also called Zvi Hirsh Friedmann (צבי הירש פרידמאן) and recognized for his work Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה), continues to impact his followers with his teachings. A disciple of the esteemed Teitelbaum Moshe zt"l (משה טייטלבוים זצ״ל), known as the Yismach Moshe (ישמח משה), the Rebbe was enriched with profound Torah and Hasidic insights. The close disciple relationship endures within Hasidic communities, particularly among Satmar followers, who cherish the legacies of both Teitelbaum and Rebbe Hershele Lisker.
In locations like Borough Park, Williamsburg, and throughout Israel, Hasidic communities cherish the town of Liska and hold the Liska Rebbe's merit in the highest esteem. As a prominent Kivrei Tzadikim site, the Liska cemetery allows prayers to be filled with extraordinary power, drawing on the tzadik's merit. On the anniversary of the Rebbe's passing, the yahrzeit (יארצייט), thousands of people make a pilgrimage here to pray and seek blessings for their families and communities.
Through his writings like Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה) and Hayoshor veHatov (הישר והטוב), the Liska Rebbe’s spiritual legacy remains a source of inspiration and guidance for Jewish communities around the world. The sacred land of Liska is not just a historical site of miracles and blessings; it remains a place where heartfelt prayers are heard, bringing blessings to all who seek them.
