Liska as a Hub of Jewish Tradition
Since the early 1800s, Liska has been a key center of Jewish life, known for its thriving cultural and religious community. 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. Close to 3,000 Jewish residents called Liska home by the late 1800s, creating a lively community. The influence of Liska’s heritage extends to nearby towns like Kerestir, shaping 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.
