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. 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 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.

The preservation of Liska’s heritage relies on both local communities and international organizations.
