In the silence of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man, baring his heart and soul, immerses himself in prayer at the grave of Hershel Lisker - Tzvi Hersh Friedman. 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. The revered resting place of Rav Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery acts as a gateway to the Eternal, where devout prayers reach and intertwine in faith. 


The holy site draws thousands of visitors each day, who feel the enduring presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, offering comfort and guidance to those praying for hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. Prayer transforms words into expressions of the heart, where emotions and desires journey beyond the surface to reach the divine.


Orthodox Jewish communities are at the center of the prayer, asking for a blessing on childhood innocence and those suffering from illness. The cemetery stands as a guardian of faith and tradition, where centuries of respect and contemporary prayers are harmoniously united. 


Yeshaya Steiner, the Kerestir Rebbe, was known to come here occasionally to offer prayers and request blessings at the tomb of his revered mentor, Hershel Lisker. The guidance of his teacher was instrumental in enabling the Kerestir Rebbe's community to cling to their traditions and persevere in their faith when it was most needed. As the man's words resonate with sincerity in this holy moment, the prayer becomes a bridge connecting the past, present, and future, channeling the deepest aspirations of the community.
