Within the serene environment of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man lays bare his emotions, immersing himself in prayer at the grave of the revered Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman. Out of profound sincerity, he requests a divine miracle of love, hope, and healing to nurture and restore 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 sacred tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery serves as a gateway to the Eternal, where heartfelt prayers ascend and merge in 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. Prayer transforms words into expressions of the heart, where emotions and desires journey beyond the surface to reach the divine.


Orthodox Jewish communities focus their prayers on seeking blessings for the innocence of children and for those enduring illness. 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 helped the Kerestir Rebbe's community to hold fast to their traditions and persevere in faith when it was needed most. 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.
