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. Hershele Lisker, or Tzvi Hirsh Liska, draws thousands to Liska, inspiring pilgrimage each year. The village has over 500 Jewish landmarks, each contributing to the town’s historical depth. 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. About 5,000 pilgrims and tourists visit Liska each year, drawn by its historical and spiritual atmosphere.

The preservation of Liska’s heritage relies on both local communities and international organizations.
