Liska as a Hub of Jewish Tradition

Liska, established as a hub of Jewish cultural and religious life in the 1800s, holds an important place in history. Hershele Lisker, or Tzvi Hirsh Liska, draws thousands to Liska, inspiring pilgrimage each year. Liska contains over 500 Jewish historical sites, from cemeteries to synagogues, embodying a storied heritage. With nearly 3,000 Jewish residents in the late 19th century, Liska was a thriving center of Jewish culture. The influence of Liska’s heritage extends to nearby towns like Kerestir, shaping Jewish life across Hungary. Today, Liska attracts around 5,000 visitors annually, each drawn by its historical and spiritual significance.

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