This Shabbos will mark a historic and emotional milestone for the Liska Kehillah, as the tzibbur gathers for the final tefillos in the beloved beis medrash that has faithfully served Liska Chassidus for nearly 80 years.

For decades, the walls of this cherished shul have absorbed heartfelt tefillos, joyous simchos, and countless hours of Torah learning. Generations have passed through its doors, forming a living chain of mesorah and devotion. The simple structure, rich with memory and meaning, has stood as a steadfast home for the kehillah’s growth.

Liska traces its roots to Rav Tzvi Hersh of Liska known as the Ach Pri Tevuah whose influence was felt throughout Hungary and beyond. Through successive rebbes Liska thrived until the Holocaust decimated European jewry . The remnants of Liska was transplanted in the United States by his son, the previous Liska Rav Yoizef Friedlander ZT'L, who established his kehilah, Ateres Tzvi M’Liska in the now Ir V’em B’Yisroel Boro Park where he was marbitz Torah and conducted himself in the mold of his origins until his untimely petirah at the age of 52, on 28 Shvat, 1971 - with the Yartzeit this coming Sunday . 

With its imminent demolition, the site will soon give way to a magnificent new shul to be erected on the very same grounds. The new structure promises expanded space, enhanced facilities, and a setting befitting the Liska kehillah, while preserving the sanctity of the location that has meant so much to so many over so many years.

In the interim, the kehillah will relocate to a temporary location, at 1430-50th Street, where tefillos and learning will continue uninterrupted until construction is complete.

As the final Shabbos approaches, the atmosphere is one of gratitude for the past and anticipation for a vibrant new chapter in the life of Liska Kehillah.
