summary
Affectionately known as “R. Hershele” of Liszka, Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Friedman (1808-1874) was one of the most prominent Chassidic Rabbis of Hungary. Orphaned at the age of six and raised by R. Moshe Teitelbaum, he was close to R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and came to know the great leaders of Chassiduth: R. Israel of Ruzhyn, R. Shalom Rokeach of Belz, R. Mendel of Rymanov and others. R. Meir of Premishlan encouraged him to develop his own Chassidic Court to which he subsequently attracted many followers. His works Ach Peri Tevuah and HaYashar VeHaTov were published posthumously. He was held in much esteem by the R. Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar who traditionally cited him with great reverence in his speech before the blowing of the Shofar on Rosh Hashanah.
