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. 

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. 

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. The man's prayer, deeply felt in this sacred moment, links the past, present, and future, expressing the community's most profound hopes and desires.
