Olaszliszka, or Liska as it is known among the local Jewish community, is a unique haven in Hungary that attracts tens of thousands of Orthodox Jewish people every year.

Liska Jewish Cemetery is a unique place for traditions and dedicated faith. The revered grave of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Friedman, known to the community as "Hershel Lisker," and the original home of Hasidism in Europe, can be found here. The first Lisker Rebbe, renowned for his profound humility despite his renowned poverty, lived a life devoted to teachings, charity, and miraculous aid. His name is linked with numerous miraculous events: the sick came to him for healing, and many prospered through his blessings. The life of the wonderful rebbe had a great impact on the present of the Orthodox Jewish communities of that time. Tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the rebbe annually, with the yahrzeit taking place on the 14th of Av.

The activities of the Liska Hasidic dynasty and Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Friedman contributed to the spread of Hasidism in Hungary and worldwide. The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner—known as Reb Shaya'la of Kerestir—often signed his writings: "Yeshaya, son of R. Moshe, who was a disciple of the righteous Rebbe of Liska."

Across many places, the Lisker Rebbe was celebrated for his exceptional skills in healing. People from various countries also traveled to the village of Liska, seeking the Lisker Rebbe's healing expertise. The community held a deep belief that the rabbi's blessings and prayers could alleviate physical and mental suffering. Despite his death, numerous pilgrims who visited his grave claimed to experience a sense of his continued presence.

By tending to the Liska Jewish cemetery, the two caretakers have not only managed the graves but also carried forward the values of respect and historical memory. The lighting of candles at every grave allowed their flames to bend in tribute to the souls who had once lived in this serene village. Viewed as a bridge between bygone days and the present, the candle flames illuminate from the core of collective memory.

The candle's flame represents a deep and meaningful symbol within the Jewish religion. Beyond providing light, the flames serve as a portal to the realm of the Eternal. 

As the Book says: "Man's soul is the Lord's lamp, which searches out all the innermost parts." Proverbs 20:27
