In the quiet of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man pours out his heart and soul in prayer at the grave of Hershel Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hersh Friedman. His sincere devotion drives him to beseech a miracle of love, hope, and healing for the well-being and unity of the entire community.


With a dignified bow in front of the old tombstone, the man appears to honor the intersection of history and the present moment. 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. 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. 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. 


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. In this sacred moment, where the heart resonates in the man's words, the prayer is a deep connection between the past, present and future, carrying the deepest hopes and desires of the community.
