The moving prayer of a Hasidic Jewish man at the grave of Rabbi Hershele Liska draws many onlookers.

In the peaceful quiet of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a Hasidic Jewish man offers a heartfelt prayer at the gravesite of Hershel Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hersh Friedman. His sincere prayers rise from a place of devotion, asking for love, hope, and healing to be bestowed upon the Hasidic community. 

With reverent dignity, the man bows before the ancient tombstone, bridging the gap between past and present in his prayer. The sacred space at Rav Hershel Lisker's tomb, Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery, is viewed as a passageway to the Eternal, where Hasidic prayers ascend and converge in faith.The holy site attracts thousands of Hasidic Jewish followers, who feel the enduring spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman surrounding them as they pray for hope and faith. Words in prayer—requests, wishes, and blessings—are not simply sounds; they are heartfelt emotions and desires sent directly to Him.

Orthodox Jewish communities focus their prayers on seeking blessings for the purity of childhood and for those enduring illness. The cemetery embodies the guardian of faith and traditions, where the respect for centuries intertwines with today's supplications.

The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, would visit this sacred place periodically to pray and ask for blessings at the grave of his great teacher, Hershel Lisker. His teacher guided the Kerestir Rebbe's community in preserving their traditions and strengthening their faith during challenging times.

During this sacred time, the resonance of the man’s words reflects a deep connection across time, as the prayer carries the community’s innermost hopes and wishes for the future.
