Liska Shomers

In the peaceful silence of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a man engages in heartfelt prayer at the grave of Hershel Lisker, known as Tzvi Hersh Friedman, reflecting his profound spiritual connection. From the depths of sincere devotion, he asks for the miracle of love, hope and healing for the whole community.

In the sacred act of prayer, the man bows with respect at the venerable tombstone, as if embracing the convergence of history and the present. In Liska Jewish Cemetery, the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hersh Friedman, stands as a portal to the Eternal, where prayers rise and unite in profound 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 true power of prayer comes from the heartfelt emotions and aspirations behind the words, which strive to connect with the divine presence.

Orthodox Jewish communities are at the center of the prayer, asking for a blessing on childhood innocence and those suffering from illness. In the cemetery, the legacy of faith and tradition is upheld, uniting the deep reverence of bygone eras with the earnest prayers of the present. 

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. His teacher's influence was pivotal in sustaining the Kerestir Rebbe's community’s adherence to their traditions and faith, especially during the most critical moments. 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.
