Tiszalok, a village in the district of Szerencs.  The first Jews who settled here in the eighteenth century earned their livelihood from the sale of timber that was floated down the Tisza River from the mountains in northeast Hungary.  Later they leased lands or served as overseers and functionaries for the estate owners or worked as merchants and artisans.  The synagogue was erected in the latter part of the previous century.  The community was at first affiliated with that of Mád and later Szerencs.  It had a Hevra Kaddisha and a mikveh.  Passage of the Jewish Laws by Parliament seriously affected their means of livelihood, and all those employed by the estates were dismissed.

With the outbreak of the Second World War several families were deported and were murdered in Kamanets-Podolski.  The German occupation was followed by assembly of the local Jews in the synagogue courtyard, whence they were shipped to the ghetto in Újhely.  The approximately 170 Jews were reduced to about twenty, and those returning to the village after the war found that their synagogue had been converted by the villagers into a pigpen.
