Exclusive Jewish Tours in Chassidic Communities
Discover The
Secrets Of Jewish Chassidic Life
Why our Tour Is The Perfect Choice?
01.
The original Jewish Tours
Rabbi Epstein turned what began as classes into tours of the community in 1982 so visitors can experience the community through the eyes of a local.
02.
Licensed Chassidic Guides
All our guides grew up exposed to all sects of Judaism including multiple chassidic, yeshivish, and orthodox groups providing a wide breath of knowledge on all of Jewish life.
03.
Go Behind Closed doors
Many of our locations take you behind closed doors (at guides discretion) to gain an insider's view into Judaism, Jewish, Chassidic, and Chabad life. Our tours don't just walk by we walk inside and gain a deeper understanding of the practices, customs, and traditions while answering all your questions you were afraid to ask.

I was afraid that touring the Hassidic community would be intimidating. Nothing could be further from the truth. Prior to the tour, as I walked along several blocks, community members stopped to wish me well and welcome me. By the time I met with my tour guide, Rabbi Beryl Epstein, I had many questions on my mind. He graciously and non-judgmentally answered every question. I felt privileged to enter the Hassidic neighborhood with such a kind and knowledgeable guide. He very obviously wanted to share the basics of his beliefs. I am anxious to return with my husband to take this tour again.

“Rabbi Beryl provides a most interesting tour of his world. We began with a short orientation at the library. Introductions were made, philosophies exchanged.
We got a feel for this community and what makes it special.
With his open demeaner and great sense of humor, we left understanding the basics of this group. There was no criticism of the participants, and no soliciting with tzudukah boxes.
A most interesting way to the understanding of another culture. A great way for families and friends to spend some time thinking about their own history”

I did this tour on a Monday so I was part of only a group of 3. Our tour was led by Chaya, who had been raised in the neighborhood. Chaya was very knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. I feel that we definitely got to see a side of Crown Heights that is hard to access without an insider so I am very grateful for the experience.

Excellent tour, my husband and I learned a great deal. Thank you for adjusting the tour to our shortened schedule. We are very much rooting for your success and looking forward to taking your future tours. Only one suggestion from us: First impressions – the outside entrance to the first location, ***REDACTED FOR SECURITY*** Otherwise, maybe a different meeting location, bagel/coffee shop?

This tour was amazing. Our guide was very skilled and could answer all of our questions. We’ve been to places where we wouldn’t have gone on ourselves. She gave us a great insight of Jewish traditions. We learnt a lot. Thank you again for the time we spent together going to these interesting places. We will definitely recommend this tour for people who want to see another New York! Laurence and her family ( from France).
