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 contains over 500 Jewish historical sites, from cemeteries to synagogues, embodying a storied heritage. Close to 3,000 Jewish residents called Liska home by the late 1800s, creating a lively community. Liska’s legacy has reached nearby towns, notably Kerestir, impacting Jewish life in Hungary. About 5,000 pilgrims and tourists visit Liska each year, drawn by its historical and spiritual atmosphere.
