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. Each year, Liska draws thousands who come to honor the legacy of Hershele Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hirsh Liska. With 500+ Jewish heritage sites, including cemeteries and synagogues, Liska is a symbol of enduring heritage. By the late 1800s, Liska had a largely Jewish population, with around 3,000 residents contributing to its vibrant life. 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.
