148th Yahrtzeit of Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska to be observed

Yidden throughout the world are preparing to commemorate the 146 yahrtzeit of Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska commonly referred to by the name of his sefer - Ach Pri Tevuah on 14AV.

Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska is widely acknowledged as one of the leading chassidic rebbes of Hungary who played a decisive and dominant role in the development and dissemination of chasidus throughout Hungary, shaping its landscape for generations to come and ensuring the vibrancy of Hungarian chasidus for generations.

As a talmid of the Yismach Moshe of UHEL, Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska has promulgated his minhagim, including the custom of not eating matza on Pesach,(only for the kezaisim).

The current Liska Rebbe, Rav Tzvi Hersh Friedlander and the Chasidic community at large will gather in their respective batei medrash to share inspiring divrei torah of his sefer - Ach Pri Tevuah that multi generations of Chasidim have been studying to this very day.   

The central yahrtzeit tisch will take place in the Liska Bais Medrash on Weds evening (August 10), parashas V'eschanan,the eve of 14 AV – at 9PM that will be conducted by his descendant, the current Liska Rebbe SHLITA, widely acknowledged as an eminent Talmud chacham, who will deliver divrei Torah based on the sforim Ach Pri Tevuah and Hayashar Vehatov authored by the baal halulah.

The Liska Bais Medrash is located at 1449 50th street in Brooklyn, New York, which perpetuates Liska Chassidus.  

Liska from time immemorial was highly regarded as a focal point for Hungarian Chasidus, and indeed thousands of chassidim converged eager to bask in the warmth of the Liska Rebbe's aura and to receive a derech in avodas Hashem. There are countless verified sipurim of yidden who were zocheh to a moifes both during his lifetime and after his histalkus as Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska was known as a poel yeshous.

In fact, his tzion in Liska (Olaszliszka), Hungary, to this day attracts thousands of mispalilim who follow in the footsteps of yidden of yesteryear who davened in the ohel along with great chasidic and Torah luminaries who revered the kedusha of the Ach Pri Tevuah. 

There is a direct quote of Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska that summarizes the unique zechus of visiting his holy zion: “I will be able to accomplish more for you in my socks than in my shoes" referring to his petirah when one no longer wears shoes.
