A touching moment of prayer by a Hasidic Jewish man at Rabbi Hershele Liska’s grave gathers a large audience.

Amid the quiet of Liska's Jewish cemetery, a Hasidic Jewish man bares his soul in prayer at the resting place of Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman. In a moment of profound faith, he asks for the miracle of love, hope, and healing to embrace the Hasidic community. 

In the dignity of prayer, the man bows respectfully in front of the ancient tombstone, as if embracing the border between the past and the present. At the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery, the place becomes a portal to the Eternal, where Hasidic prayers ascend in profound faith.Every year, thousands of Hasidic Jews come to this holy place, feeling the lasting spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman comforting those who 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.

At the heart of their prayers, Orthodox Jewish communities request blessings for the innocence of children and for individuals facing health challenges. The cemetery itself is the guardian of faith and traditions, where the respect of the centuries and today's requests are united.

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.

In this sacred moment, where the heart resonates in the man's words, the prayer is a deep connection between the past, present and future, carrying the deepest hopes and desires of the community.
