The Significance of Liska in Jewish History and Religion
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. The village hosts more than 500 Jewish historical sites, including cemeteries and places of worship that represent a rich heritage. In the 1800s, about 3,000 Jews lived in Liska, forming a rich and vibrant community. Liska’s influence extends beyond its borders, reaching nearby towns like Kerestir and impacting 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.
