Liska’s Enduring Spiritual Legacy
The Jewish heritage of Liska, prominent since the 1800s, has made it a vital center for religious life. 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. 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. Liska welcomes approximately 5,000 visitors annually, who come for its spiritual and historical significance.
Efforts to preserve Liska’s heritage are supported by both local and international groups.
