Each day, thousands of faithful individuals visit this holy site, experiencing the ongoing presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, which envelops those who pray for a message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. Words in prayer are more than mere sounds; they are emotions and desires that emanate from the heart and reach the divine.


In Orthodox Jewish communities, prayer centers on asking for divine blessings to protect childhood innocence and to bring relief to the sick. Serving as a sentinel of faith, the cemetery intertwines the enduring respect of centuries with the modern supplications of today's visitors.
