Liska Shomers

Amidst the stillness of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man deeply connects with his spirituality, offering heartfelt prayers at the resting place of Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman. His sincere devotion drives him to beseech a miracle of love, hope, and healing for the well-being and unity of the entire community.

As he prays with reverence, the man bows before the ancient gravestone, embodying a connection between bygone eras and the contemporary world. The sacred tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery serves as a gateway to the Eternal, where heartfelt prayers ascend and merge in faith. 

Thousands of believers visit this holy place today, feeling that the spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman is still present, embracing those who pray for the holy 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. The cemetery stands as a guardian of faith and tradition, where centuries of respect and contemporary prayers are harmoniously united. 

Yeshaya Steiner, the Kerestir Rebbe, was known to come here occasionally to offer prayers and request blessings at the tomb of his revered mentor, 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. The man's prayer, deeply felt in this sacred moment, links the past, present, and future, expressing the community's most profound hopes and desires.
