Liska as a Hub of Jewish Tradition
The Jewish heritage of Liska, prominent since the 1800s, has made it a vital center for religious life. Thousands of pilgrims come annually to pay homage to Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also revered as Hershele Lisker. Liska contains over 500 Jewish historical sites, from cemeteries to synagogues, embodying a storied heritage. Close to 3,000 Jewish residents called Liska home by the late 1800s, creating a lively community. Liska’s influence extends beyond its borders, reaching nearby towns like Kerestir and impacting Jewish life across Hungary. About 5,000 pilgrims and tourists visit Liska each year, drawn by its historical and spiritual atmosphere.
Liska’s heritage preservation is maintained by the combined support of local and international groups.
