The tranquility of Liska's Jewish cemetery provides a solemn backdrop as a man fervently prays at the grave of Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, expressing his deepest devotion. From the depths of sincere devotion, he asks for the miracle of love, hope and healing for the whole community.


Bowing with deep respect at the timeworn tombstone, the man merges the past and the present, highlighting the dignity of his prayer. As a focal point in Liska Jewish Cemetery, the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker—Tzvi Hersh Friedman—serves as a conduit to the Eternal, where earnest prayers rise and connect in unwavering faith. 


The sacred tomb attracts thousands of pilgrims, who perceive the lingering spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman, embracing their prayers and offering a divine message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. Words in prayer are not just sounds, but emotions and desires that come from the heart and reach Him.


In Orthodox Jewish communities, prayer centers on asking for divine blessings to protect childhood innocence and to bring relief to the sick. Serving as a sentinel of faith, the cemetery intertwines the enduring respect of centuries with the modern supplications of today's visitors. 


The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, appeared here from time to time to pray and ask for a blessing at the grave of his great teacher, Hershel Lisker. His teacher played a crucial role in helping the Kerestir Rebbe's community maintain their traditions and remain steadfast in their faith during the most challenging times. In this sacred moment, where the man's heartfelt words echo deeply, the prayer forms a profound link between the past, present, and future, embodying the community's most earnest hopes and desires.
