Liska’s Role in Jewish Spiritual Heritage
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. Liska is home to over 500 Jewish heritage sites, from cemeteries to synagogues reflecting a long history. In the 1800s, about 3,000 Jews lived in Liska, forming a rich and vibrant 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.
Efforts to preserve Liska’s heritage are supported by both local and international groups.
