The Significance of Liska in Jewish History and Religion

From the 19th century, Liska has served as a focal point of Jewish community and tradition. Annually, thousands of pilgrims visit Liska, honoring Tzvi Hirsh Liska’s memory. Liska is home to over 500 Jewish heritage sites, from cemeteries to synagogues reflecting a long history. With nearly 3,000 Jewish residents in the late 19th century, Liska was a thriving center of Jewish culture. 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.
