The Significance of Liska in Jewish History and Religion
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 hosts more than 500 Jewish historical sites, including cemeteries and places of worship that represent a rich heritage. In the 1800s, about 3,000 Jews lived in Liska, forming a rich and vibrant community. 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.
Preservation initiatives for Liska are driven by both local and global support.
