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.

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 tour with Rabbi Epstein was an enjoyable and educational visit. With passion and approachability (and a twinkle in his eyes), the Rabbi shared key beliefs and history of the Chassidic Community) and their relevance to our group.

Not only was the experience incredibly informative and culturally enriching, but our guide was nothing short of delightful, truly embodying the Hasidic values of kindness.

This proved to be a very enlightening experience. The tour of Crown Heights Lubavitch community opened my eyes and mind to a very different world. Rabbi Beryl Epstein was brilliant in explaining the history, customs and all aspects of the religion from dress to prayer. A fascinating look into a world I knew very little about, I walked away with great respect for the Rabbi and the community.

I am not a Jew but am very interested in the Jewish culture and their history. The Hassidic Walking tour was the perfect way to see and learn about a people who are solely committed to their beliefs without trying to impose them on others. I happened to be there the day after their holy days and there were visitors there from around the world. It was quite the center of activity as they were all leaving to return to their homes. We observed worship, saw how they restore Torahs, learned about their rituals and laws and how they have integrated themselves into today’s world without losing who they are as a people. I found the whole experience to be enlightening and would highly recommend it.

“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”

“This was my second tour with Rabbi Epstein. My first was several years ago, and since then I’ve recommended the tour to many people. A friend was visiting this week, and she also wanted to explore the Hassidic community. It was just as nice a visit as my first time, though I got the added bonus of sharing her first-time experience.
Rabbi Epstein is a wonderful guide. He doesn’t just lecture you, he explains how and why the community works, and he is open to all questions. It’s more a dialogue than a lecture. It’s an enjoyable way to learn.
I highly recommend this tour to everyone.”
