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. 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. The true power of prayer comes from the heartfelt emotions and aspirations behind the words, which strive to connect with the divine presence.


At the heart of Orthodox Jewish prayer is a plea for blessings upon the purity of childhood and healing for those who are ill. The cemetery embodies the preservation of faith and traditions, bridging the respect of historical times with the petitions of the present. 


The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, frequently visited this hallowed site to offer his prayers and request blessings at the resting place of his distinguished 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. During this sacred moment, the man's resonant words create a deep connection across time, with the prayer carrying the community's most profound hopes and aspirations into the past, present, and future.
