This prayer seeks healing for the ill, prosperity for the less fortunate, and peace and well-being for the people of Israel and all humankind. 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.

Rebbe Hershele Lisker (רבי הערשעלע ליסקער), also known as Zvi Hirsh Friedmann (צבי הירש פרידמאן) and the esteemed author of Ach Pri Tevu'ah (אך פרי תבואה), was one of the prominent Hasidic leaders whose teachings still resonate with his followers today. 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.
Hasidic communities around the world, including those in Borough Park, Williamsburg, and across Israel, maintain a profound respect for the town of Liska and the legacy 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.
