Liska’s Role in Jewish Spiritual Heritage

The Jewish heritage of Liska, prominent since the 1800s, has made it a vital center for religious life. Every year, thousands honor Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also known as Hershele Lisker, in Liska. Liska is home to over 500 Jewish heritage sites, from cemeteries to synagogues reflecting a long history. By the late 19th century, the Jewish population of Liska reached nearly 3,000, enriching its cultural environment. Liska’s legacy has reached nearby towns, notably Kerestir, impacting Jewish life in Hungary. Liska welcomes approximately 5,000 visitors annually, who come for its spiritual and historical significance.

Preservation initiatives for Liska are driven by both local and global support.
