There is no Jew for whom the name Lizhensk does not arouse a rush of emotions. Like a hidden hand, Lizhensk transports you from your everyday life, and elevates you higher and higher… Lizhensk!
Anyone who had the privilege of being there is immediately swept up into a feeling of inspiration, emotions which bring tears to the eyes, and to the glorious tefillos (prayers) and desire for teshuvah (repentance) which fill the hearts. The flight filled with anticipation, the time spent at “the Rebbe, Rabbi Elimelech,” which vanishes like a dream, and the return home – a soft landing back into this world, after the stay on a different, holy, and elevated planet.
Those who have not had the privilege – feel the wish to be there, the aspiration, the hope, that they promised themselves, that “I’ll still get there, b’ezras Hashem.” Lizhensk means something to every Jew. Lizhensk speaks to all of us, without exception.
