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. 


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.


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.
