Amidst the stillness of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man deeply connects with his spirituality, offering heartfelt prayers at the resting place of 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.

As he prays with reverence, the man bows before the ancient gravestone, embodying a connection between bygone eras and the contemporary world. In Liska Jewish Cemetery, the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hersh Friedman, stands as a portal to the Eternal, where prayers rise and unite in profound 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. The cemetery stands as a guardian of faith and tradition, where centuries of respect and contemporary prayers are harmoniously united. 

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. Thanks to his teacher, the Kerestir Rebbe’s community was able to copyright their traditions and stay resilient in their faith during periods of intense difficulty. In this revered moment, the man's heartfelt prayer weaves together the past, present, and future, encapsulating the profound hopes and desires of the entire community.
