Liska Shomers
In the silence of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man, baring his heart and soul, immerses himself in prayer at the grave of Hershel Lisker - Tzvi Hersh Friedman. From the depths of his sincere devotion, he prays for the miracle of love, hope, and healing to be bestowed 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 tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman, located in Liska Jewish Cemetery, functions as a bridge to the Eternal, where prayers ascend and converge in spiritual unity.
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. In the cemetery, the legacy of faith and tradition is upheld, uniting the deep reverence of bygone eras with the earnest prayers of the present.
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.
