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 has over 500 Jewish landmarks, each contributing to the town’s historical depth. In the 1800s, about 3,000 Jews lived in Liska, forming a rich and vibrant community. The influence of Liska’s heritage extends to nearby towns like Kerestir, shaping Jewish life across Hungary. Each year, nearly 5,000 people visit Liska, attracted by its historical and spiritual landmarks.

Efforts to preserve Liska’s heritage are supported by both local and international groups.
