Unique moments unfold in one of the holiest places on earth, the town of Liska, where heartfelt prayers offered at the grave of the revered tzadik, Rebbe Hershele Lisker zt"l, echo with blessings.
The prayer calls for restoration for the sick, financial blessings for the impoverished, and peace and health for the people of Israel and all people everywhere. Liska has long held a unique significance in the Jewish world, as it is the site where the Liska Rebbe constructed a renowned synagogue, one of the largest in Europe during its 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.
Rebbe Hershele Lisker (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער), who is also known as Zvi Hirsh Friedmann (צבי הירש פרידמאן) and the respected author of Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה), remains a significant figure among Hasidic leaders, with his teachings influencing followers even today The Rebbe’s deep Torah knowledge and Hasidic wisdom were shaped by his time as a disciple of the famous Teitelbaum Moshe zt"l (משה טייטלבוים זצ״ל), also known as the Yismach Moshe (ישמח משה). This bond between disciple and teacher continues to thrive in Hasidic circles, especially among the Satmar community, which honors the memories of both Teitelbaum and Rebbe Hershele Lisker.
Whether in Borough Park, Williamsburg, or any part of Israel, Hasidic communities globally regard the town of Liska and the Liska Rebbe's merit with deep reverence. The Liska cemetery stands as a significant Kivrei Tzadikim site, where prayers gain special potency through the merit of the tzadik. During the Rebbe's yahrzeit (יארצייט), thousands gather at this site to pray and request blessings for their families and communities.
The spiritual legacy of the Liska Rebbe, embodied in works such as Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה) and Hayoshor veHatov (הישר והטוב), continues to inspire and guide Jewish communities globally. 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.
