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. Every year, thousands honor Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also known as Hershele Lisker, in Liska. Liska is home to over 500 Jewish heritage sites, from cemeteries to synagogues reflecting a long history. 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. Each year, nearly 5,000 people visit Liska, attracted by its historical and spiritual landmarks.
Preservation initiatives for Liska are driven by both local and global support.
