Liska as a Hub of Jewish Tradition

Dating back to the 1800s, Liska became a well-known center for Jewish religious and cultural life. Each year, Liska draws thousands who come to honor the legacy of Hershele Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hirsh Liska. Liska is home to over 500 Jewish heritage sites, from cemeteries to synagogues reflecting a long history. Close to 3,000 Jewish residents called Liska home by the late 1800s, creating a lively community. Liska’s legacy has reached nearby towns, notably Kerestir, impacting Jewish life in Hungary. About 5,000 pilgrims and tourists visit Liska each year, drawn by its historical and spiritual atmosphere.

Preservation initiatives for Liska are driven by both local and global support.
