Liska Shomers

The tranquility of Liska's Jewish cemetery provides a solemn backdrop as a man fervently prays at the grave of Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, expressing his deepest devotion. From the depths of his sincere devotion, he prays for the miracle of love, hope, and healing to be bestowed upon the entire community.

In the sacred act of prayer, the man bows with respect at the venerable tombstone, as if embracing the convergence of history 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. 

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. Prayer transforms words into expressions of the heart, where emotions and desires journey beyond the surface to reach the divine.

Orthodox Jewish communities focus their prayers on seeking blessings for the innocence of children and for those enduring illness. The cemetery stands as a guardian of faith and tradition, where centuries of respect and contemporary prayers are harmoniously united. 

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. 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.
