Liska Shomers
The tranquility of Liska's Jewish cemetery provides a solemn backdrop as a man fervently prays at the grave of Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, expressing his deepest devotion. With heartfelt earnestness, he implores for a miracle of love, hope, and healing to embrace and uplift the whole community.
In the solemnity of his prayer, the man bows respectfully before the ancient tombstone, symbolically bridging the gap between the past and the present. 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 prayers soar and meet in faith.
The holy site draws thousands of visitors each day, who feel the enduring presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, offering comfort and guidance to those praying for 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. The cemetery stands as a guardian of faith and tradition, where centuries of respect and contemporary prayers are harmoniously united.
From time to time, the Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, would come to this sacred place to pray and seek divine blessings at the grave of his great teacher, Hershel Lisker. Thanks to his teacher, the Kerestir Rebbe’s community was able to copyright their traditions and stay resilient in their faith during periods of intense difficulty. 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.
