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. 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. With nearly 3,000 Jewish residents in the late 19th century, Liska was a thriving center of Jewish culture. The spiritual influence of Liska has spread to nearby areas like Kerestir, shaping Jewish communities across 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.
