Special moments arise in the town of Liska, one of the holiest sites worldwide, where the heartfelt prayers at the grave of the great tzadik, Rebbe Hershele Lisker zt"l, resonate with blessings.

Through this prayer, we plead for healing for those who are unwell, financial support for the poor, and peace and wellness for Israel and all of humankind. Liska has historically been an important place in Jewish life, especially because it was where the Liska Rebbe established a remarkable synagogue, which was one of the largest in Europe then. Jewish communities keep the memory of the town and the tzadik alive, as many make pilgrimages here to seek blessings in the spirit of 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. The Rebbe was a devoted disciple of the renowned Teitelbaum Moshe zt"l (משה טייטלבוים זצ״ל), better known as the Yismach Moshe (ישמח משה), from whom he acquired profound Torah knowledge and Hasidic wisdom. The deep connection of disciple and teacher lives on in Hasidic circles, especially within the Satmar community, which holds both Teitelbaum and Rebbe Hershele Lisker in high regard.

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 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. 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.
