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.


In the sacred act of prayer, the man bows with respect at the venerable tombstone, as if embracing the convergence of history and the present. 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. 


Thousands of believers visit this holy place today, feeling that the spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman is still present, embracing those who pray for the holy message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. In prayer, words transcend sound, becoming heartfelt emotions and deep desires that travel from the soul to the divine presence.


Orthodox Jewish prayer gatherings frequently emphasize petitions for blessings that nurture childhood innocence and offer comfort and recovery to the ill. In the cemetery, the legacy of faith and tradition is upheld, uniting the deep reverence of bygone eras with the earnest prayers of the present. 


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.
