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 hasidic prayers soar and meet in faith.Thousands of Hasidic Jews make their pilgrimage to this revered place, believing the spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman still embraces those who seek hope and faith in prayer. Words in prayer—requests, wishes, and blessings—are not simply sounds; they are heartfelt emotions and desires sent directly to Him.
At the heart of their prayers, Orthodox Jewish communities request blessings for the innocence of children and for individuals facing health challenges. As a custodian of faith and heritage, the cemetery merges the respect of bygone eras with the contemporary prayers of its visitors.
The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, would visit this sacred place periodically to pray and ask for blessings at the grave of his great teacher, Hershel Lisker. The guidance of his teacher was instrumental in helping the Kerestir Rebbe's community cling to their traditions and persevere in faith during difficult moments.
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.
