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. Thousands of pilgrims come annually to pay homage to Tzvi Hirsh Liska, also revered as Hershele Lisker. The village hosts more than 500 Jewish historical sites, including cemeteries and places of worship that represent a rich heritage. By the late 1800s, Liska had a largely Jewish population, with around 3,000 residents contributing to its vibrant life. The spiritual influence of Liska has spread to nearby areas like Kerestir, shaping Jewish communities across Hungary. Close to 5,000 visitors arrive annually in Liska, reflecting its role as a spiritual destination.
Liska’s heritage preservation is maintained by the combined support of local and international groups.
