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

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. Prayer transforms words into expressions of the heart, where emotions and desires journey beyond the surface to reach the divine.

Orthodox Jewish communities focus their prayers on seeking blessings for the innocence of children and for those enduring illness. As a custodian of faith and heritage, the cemetery merges the reverence of past centuries with the heartfelt requests of today. 

The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, frequently visited this hallowed site to offer his prayers and request blessings at the resting place of his distinguished 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. 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.
