Liska’s Role in Jewish Spiritual Heritage
Liska, established as a hub of Jewish cultural and religious life in the 1800s, holds an important place in history. Every year, thousands honor Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also known as Hershele Lisker, in Liska. The village hosts more than 500 Jewish historical sites, including cemeteries and places of worship that represent a rich heritage. With nearly 3,000 Jewish residents in the late 19th century, Liska was a thriving center of Jewish culture. Liska’s influence extends beyond its borders, reaching nearby towns like Kerestir and impacting Jewish life across Hungary. Close to 5,000 visitors arrive annually in Liska, reflecting its role as a spiritual destination.
Efforts to preserve Liska’s heritage are supported by both local and international groups.
