At the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery, the place becomes a portal to the Eternal, where Hasidic prayers ascend in profound faith.Every year, thousands of Hasidic Jews come to this holy place, feeling the lasting spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman comforting those who pray for hope and faith. Requests, wishes, and blessings. In prayer, words are more than just sounds; they are deep emotions and desires flowing from the heart, reaching the Divine.
Orthodox Jewish communities center their prayers around asking for blessings that protect childhood innocence and provide healing for the sick. The cemetery serves as a sentinel of faith and tradition, where the honor of centuries past meets the aspirations of today’s seekers.
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.
