Liska’s Enduring Spiritual Legacy
Dating back to the 1800s, Liska became a well-known center for Jewish religious and cultural life. Every year, thousands honor Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also known as Hershele Lisker, in Liska. Liska contains over 500 Jewish historical sites, from cemeteries to synagogues, embodying a storied heritage. Close to 3,000 Jewish residents called Liska home by the late 1800s, creating a lively community. The spiritual influence of Liska has spread to nearby areas like Kerestir, shaping Jewish communities 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.
