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. Out of profound sincerity, he requests a divine miracle of love, hope, and healing to nurture and restore the whole community.


In the solemnity of his prayer, the man bows respectfully before the ancient tombstone, symbolically bridging the gap between the past and the present. 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. 


Thousands of devotees visit this revered place today, feeling the palpable presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, which warmly embraces those seeking a message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. The true power of prayer comes from the heartfelt emotions and aspirations behind the words, which strive to connect with the divine presence.


Orthodox Jewish communities are at the center of the prayer, asking for a blessing on childhood innocence and those suffering from illness. The cemetery itself is the guardian of faith and traditions, where the respect of the centuries and today's requests are united. 


The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, would periodically visit this site to pray and seek blessings at the grave of his esteemed 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.
