The tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in the Liska Jewish Cemetery acts as a spiritual portal to the Eternal, where Hasidic prayers meet and rise in faith.The holy site attracts thousands of Hasidic Jewish followers, who feel the enduring spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman surrounding them as they pray for hope and faith. Prayers filled with requests, wishes, and blessings are not just words, but expressions of the heart’s deepest emotions, ascending to the Divine.
Orthodox Jewish communities focus their prayers on seeking blessings for the purity of childhood and for those enduring illness. The cemetery embodies the guardian of faith and traditions, where the respect for centuries intertwines with today's supplications.
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.
