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.
In this prayer, requests are made for the healing of the sick, abundance for those in need, and peace and health for 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. 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). In Hasidic communities, particularly among Satmar followers, the close disciple relationship remains significant, honoring the legacies of both Teitelbaum and Rebbe Hershele Lisker.
Hasidic communities worldwide, from Borough Park and Williamsburg to various regions in Israel, deeply respect the town of Liska and honor the legacy of the Liska Rebbe. 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 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. The sacred land of Liska is not only a place of past miracles and blessings but continues to be a site where prayers, filled with deep faith and devotion, are heard and bring blessings to all who come to seek them.
