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.

Thank you Chaya for the fascinating tour today and for answering with our questions. Being able to go into a Synagogue was the highlight. Much appreciated and lovely to meet you.

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).

This was a fascinating glimpse into a usually closed community. The Rabbi was very welcoming and happy to share information about the Lubavitch Hassidic community. We were able to observe activity in the synagogue, visit a local bookstore and enjoy lunch in a local cafe. We gained some interesting insights into Hassidic life that had only previously been accessible through reading. I would have loved to have visited more sites, but learned so much from the conversation.

Fascinating "behind the scenes" of Hasidic life in Brooklyn. As must see – even for Episcopalians!

We went on this Tour over four years ago and it still feeds my Soul to this day. No words can describe it’s impact. Rabbi Beryl Epstein is so welcoming and his prayer for me and my Mother at the end, I believe is baring fruit in my life at this very moment. I love NYC but on this particular, having not seen most of the amazing sites NY has to offer chose to go on a Jewish Walking Tour. It’s WILL colour your life one way or another from the day you visit. To witness the simplicity of the dedication and passion to Gods Laws warms even the hardest of hearts. We are not excursion veterans, we discover our own places but this one was so worth it and now I have grown more as a person I think I would definitely go back again to expand on what I got from the tour the first time. Enjoy it. You won’t regret it.
