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 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. 

Each day, thousands of faithful individuals visit this holy site, experiencing the ongoing presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, which envelops those who pray for a message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. The essence of prayer lies not in the spoken words alone, but in the emotions and desires from the heart that seek to connect with the divine.

Orthodox Jewish prayer gatherings frequently emphasize petitions for blessings that nurture childhood innocence and offer comfort and recovery to the ill. The cemetery itself is the guardian of faith and traditions, where the respect of the centuries and today's requests are 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. 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. 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.
