The Significance of Liska in Jewish History and Religion

From the 19th century, Liska has served as a focal point of Jewish community and tradition. 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. Liska’s heritage resonates in neighboring communities such as Kerestir and throughout Hungary. Liska welcomes approximately 5,000 visitors annually, who come for its spiritual and historical significance.

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