In the peaceful silence of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man engages in heartfelt prayer at the grave of Hershel Lisker, known as Tzvi Hersh Friedman, reflecting his profound spiritual connection. With heartfelt earnestness, he implores for a miracle of love, hope, and healing to embrace and uplift 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. The special place, the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker - Tzvi Hersh Friedman in Liska Jewish Cemetery, is a kind of gateway to the Eternal, where prayers soar and meet in faith.
The sacred tomb attracts thousands of pilgrims, who perceive the lingering spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman, embracing their prayers and offering a divine 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.
In Orthodox Jewish communities, prayer centers on asking for divine blessings to protect childhood innocence and to bring relief to the sick. As a custodian of faith and heritage, the cemetery merges the reverence of past centuries with the heartfelt requests of today.
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's influence was pivotal in sustaining the Kerestir Rebbe's community’s adherence to their traditions and faith, especially during the most critical moments. 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.
