The Significance of Liska in Jewish History and Religion

From the 19th century, Liska has served as a focal point of Jewish community and tradition. 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. Close to 5,000 visitors arrive annually in Liska, reflecting its role as a spiritual destination.

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