Amazing tour. So much to learn about this wonderful way of life. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

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.

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved the Chassidic Walking Tour. It is one thing to learn about Chassidic culture through books or movies, but nothing is better than experiencing it first-hand. These people are so dedicated to their faith and families. We have much respect for the Chassidic community. Everyone that we met was so warm and friendly. I was invited to wear tefillin at the main synagogue. I’ve never seen anyone do that at my temple, so I was unfamiliar with the practice. They were nice enough to let me use a set and they talked me through the blessings. I have since ordered my own set of tefillin from Israel and I am excited to use them. The falafel sandwich that I had for lunch was the best one I’ve ever had. My girlfriend said she hadn’t had one that good since her Birthright Israel trip. The Chabad movement and the other Chassidic Jews are truly keeping Judaism alive, and I must tip my yarmulke to them. 😉

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.

This is one of the most mind blowing experiences I have had in my whole life. As an agnostic I went on the tour just out of curiosity and while I left feeling immensely happy that I am not a chasidic jew myself, I also left feeling more informed and in many ways also inspired. There are many things that I will never understand about this lifestyle, but I found that many things in the philiosophical base of judaism is very much useful in my daily life. I will definetely recommend this to any one who is a curious person such as myself.

“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.”
