Special moments from one of the holiest places in the world, the town of Liska, where the deep and blessing-filled prayers recited at the grave of the great tzadik, Rebbe Hershele Lisker zt"l (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער זצ״ל), resonate.

This prayer seeks healing for the ill, prosperity for the less fortunate, and peace and well-being for the people of Israel and all humankind. Liska holds a distinctive place in Jewish history, as it is here that the Liska Rebbe built a renowned synagogue, recognized as one of the largest in Europe during its era. The vibrant memory of the town and its tzadik resonates within Jewish communities, where many arrive to request blessings in the cherished Kivrei Tzadikim tradition.

Rebbe Hershele Lisker (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער), better known as Zvi Hirsh Friedmann (צבי הירש פרידמאן) and the celebrated author of Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה), was a significant Hasidic leader whose teachings remain influential among his followers today. The Rebbe studied under the famous Teitelbaum Moshe zt"l (משה טייטלבוים זצ״ל), also referred to as the Yismach Moshe (ישמח משה), from whom he learned valuable Torah knowledge and Hasidic wisdom. This close disciple relationship remains alive in the hasidic communities, especially among the Satmar followers, who honor the memory of both Teitelbaum and Rebbe Hershele Lisker.

Hasidic communities around the world, including those in Borough Park, Williamsburg, and across Israel, maintain a profound respect for the town of Liska and the legacy of the Liska Rebbe. The Liska cemetery is an important site within the Kivrei Tzadikim tradition, where the merit of the tzadik imbues prayers with remarkable strength. On the yahrzeit (יארצייט) of the Rebbe's passing, thousands of individuals embark on a pilgrimage to this site to pray and ask for blessings for their families and communities. 

The spiritual impact of the Liska Rebbe, reflected in his works like Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה) and Hayoshor veHatov (הישר והטוב), continues to motivate and direct Jewish communities around the globe. Liska, a sacred land rich in past miracles and blessings, continues to be a place where deep faith-filled prayers are answered, offering blessings to all who come to seek them.
