The town of Liska, known as one of the most sacred places in the world, is filled with special moments where the deep prayers at the gravesite of Rebbe Hershele Lisker zt"l resonate powerfully.
This prayer asks for healing for the sick, wealth for the poor, and peace and health for the people of Israel and all of humanity. 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 memory of the town and the tzadik lives on vibrantly in Jewish communities, as many come here to request blessings in accordance 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 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 Liska Rebbe’s spiritual legacy, articulated in texts such as Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה) and Hayoshor veHatov (הישר והטוב), serves as a guiding light for Jewish communities worldwide. 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.
