Within the serene environment of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man lays bare his emotions, immersing himself in prayer at the grave of the revered Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman. From his place of deep devotion, he seeks the miracle of love, hope, and healing, fervently wishing it upon the entire community.

In the dignity of prayer, the man bows respectfully in front of the ancient tombstone, as if embracing the border 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. Prayer transforms words into expressions of the heart, where emotions and desires journey beyond the surface to reach the divine.

Orthodox Jewish communities are at the center of the prayer, asking for a blessing on childhood innocence and those suffering from 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, 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.
