With a dignified bow in front of the old tombstone, the man appears to honor the intersection of history and the present moment. The revered resting place of Rav Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery acts as a gateway to the Eternal, where devout prayers reach and intertwine in faith. 


Thousands of devotees visit this revered place today, feeling the palpable presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, which warmly embraces those seeking a message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. The true power of prayer comes from the heartfelt emotions and aspirations behind the words, which strive to connect with the divine presence.


Orthodox Jewish communities are at the center of the prayer, asking for a blessing on childhood innocence and those suffering from illness. 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. During this sacred moment, the man's resonant words create a deep connection across time, with the prayer carrying the community's most profound hopes and aspirations into the past, present, and future.
