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. Every year, thousands honor Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also known as Hershele Lisker, in Liska. The village hosts more than 500 Jewish historical sites, including cemeteries and places of worship that represent a rich heritage. By the late 1800s, Liska had a largely Jewish population, with around 3,000 residents contributing to its vibrant life. 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.

Efforts to preserve Liska’s heritage are supported by both local and international groups.
