Liska as a Hub of Jewish Tradition

Liska, established as a hub of Jewish cultural and religious life in the 1800s, holds an important place in history. Thousands of pilgrims come annually to pay homage to Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also revered as Hershele Lisker. The village hosts more than 500 Jewish historical sites, including cemeteries and places of worship that represent a rich 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.

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