The special place, the tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker - Tzvi Hersh Friedman in Liska Jewish Cemetery, is a kind of gateway to the Eternal, where prayers soar and meet in faith.
The sacred tomb attracts thousands of pilgrims, who perceive the lingering spirit of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman, embracing their prayers and offering a divine message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. The essence of prayer lies not in the spoken words alone, but in the emotions and desires from the heart that seek to connect with the divine.
The core of Orthodox Jewish prayers often includes fervent requests for blessings that safeguard the innocence of children and provide healing for those suffering from illness.
