Liska’s Role in Jewish Spiritual Heritage

Dating back to the 1800s, Liska became a well-known center for Jewish religious and cultural life. Thousands of pilgrims come annually to pay homage to Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also revered as Hershele Lisker. Liska is home to over 500 Jewish heritage sites, from cemeteries to synagogues reflecting a long history. By the late 1800s, Liska had a largely Jewish population, with around 3,000 residents contributing to its vibrant life. The influence of Liska’s heritage extends to nearby towns like Kerestir, shaping Jewish life across 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.
