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. From his place of deep devotion, he seeks the miracle of love, hope, and healing, fervently wishing it upon the entire community.
With a dignified bow in front of the old tombstone, the man appears to honor the intersection of history and the present moment. 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. Prayer transforms words into expressions of the heart, where emotions and desires journey beyond the surface to reach the divine.
At the heart of Orthodox Jewish prayer is a plea for blessings upon the purity of childhood and healing for those who are ill. Serving as a sentinel of faith, the cemetery intertwines the enduring respect of centuries with the modern supplications of today's visitors.
The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, appeared here from time to time to pray and ask for a blessing 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.
