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. From the depths of sincere devotion, he asks for the miracle of love, hope and healing for the whole community.

Bowing with deep respect at the timeworn tombstone, the man merges the past and the present, highlighting the dignity of his prayer. 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. 

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. Words in prayer are not just sounds, but emotions and desires that come from the heart and reach Him.

In Orthodox Jewish communities, prayer centers on asking for divine blessings to protect childhood innocence and to bring relief to the sick. 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. The Kerestir Rebbe's community benefited greatly from his teacher's support, which helped them preserve their traditions and endure in their faith when faced with adversity. 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.
