In the sacred town of Liska, renowned as one of the holiest places in the world, the profound prayers recited at the tomb of the esteemed tzadik, Rebbe Hershele Lisker zt"l, resonate with deep significance.
The prayer calls for restoration for the sick, financial blessings for the impoverished, and peace and health for the people of Israel and all people everywhere.

Rebbe Hershele Lisker (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער), also known as Zvi Hirsh Friedmann (צבי הירש פרידמאן), or the renowned author of the Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה), was among the great hasidic leaders, and his teachings continue to influence his followers to this day. 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. 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. Each year, on the anniversary of the Rebbe's passing, known as yahrzeit (יארצייט), thousands flock to this sacred place to offer prayers and seek blessings for their loved ones 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. 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.
