Liska as a Hub of Jewish Tradition

Liska, established as a hub of Jewish cultural and religious life in the 1800s, holds an important place in history. Thousands of pilgrims come annually to pay homage to Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also revered as Hershele Lisker. The village has over 500 Jewish landmarks, each contributing to the town’s historical depth. By the late 19th century, the Jewish population of Liska reached nearly 3,000, enriching its cultural environment. 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.
