Liska’s Enduring Spiritual Legacy

The Jewish heritage of Liska, prominent since the 1800s, has made it a vital center for religious life. Each year, Liska draws thousands who come to honor the legacy of Hershele Lisker, also known as Tzvi Hirsh Liska. Liska contains over 500 Jewish historical sites, from cemeteries to synagogues, embodying a storied heritage. By the late 1800s, Liska had a largely Jewish population, with around 3,000 residents contributing to its vibrant life. Liska’s legacy has reached nearby towns, notably Kerestir, impacting Jewish life in Hungary. Liska welcomes approximately 5,000 visitors annually, who come for its spiritual and historical significance.

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