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. In the Jewish world, Liska is regarded as a special location, primarily due to the Liska Rebbe’s construction of a famous synagogue that stood as one of the largest in Europe at the time. 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.
Known as Rebbe Hershele Lisker (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער) or Zvi Hirsh Friedmann (צבי הירש פרידמאן), this distinguished author of Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה) ranks among the great Hasidic leaders, with teachings that continue to inspire his disciples. As a student of the illustrious Teitelbaum Moshe zt"l (משה טייטלבוים זצ״ל), known as the Yismach Moshe (ישמח משה), the Rebbe gained deep insights into Torah and Hasidic teachings. 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.
Across the globe, Hasidic communities—whether in Borough Park, Williamsburg, or anywhere in Israel—revere the town of Liska and the merit of the Liska Rebbe. The Liska cemetery is regarded as one of the most vital Kivrei Tzadikim sites, where the tzadik's merit enhances the power of the prayers offered there. On the anniversary of the Rebbe's passing, or yahrzeit (יארצייט), a multitude of people journeys here to pray and seek blessings for their families and the wider community.
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. Liska is a sacred land that embodies past miracles and blessings while continuing to serve as a site where prayers, steeped in deep faith, resonate and bestow blessings on all visitors.
