| The tour was both informative and sensitive. It took us from the origins of Chassidism to today's beliefs and practices. The knowledge and explainations of the guide were supurb and were both thoughtful and sensitive. All areas spoken of and visited were the core elements of the community life and were necessary for an understanding of the way of life. Best tour ever!!! |

| Beryl Epstein was very informative, friendly, and open to all questions about the Chassidic culture and lifestyle. He thoroughly explained traditions, the culture, the role of women, the marriage expectations, the history of the mikvah and the current practice. He explains the Lubavitch history and development and goals with sincerity, humor, and immense pathos. Crown Heights revealed! |

| Lovely to meet this very welcoming and open community. I only wish we would have had even more time for questions and discussion. Great guide with lots of humour and a bit of spunk. A stroll on your own through the neighbourgood after the tour is highly recommended. |

| The tour:
Was greatly informative. Contributed its small measure to demysitifiing the mysterioius. Opened a window into an obscure, enigmatic world. Was thought provoking, motivating, suprising and stimulating. Was conducted with great professionalism and openess and presented with a wonderful, warm sense of humour. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It provided us with an opportunity to observe aspects of Chassidic life that we would not been able to do on our own. Definitely a worthwhile three hours. |

| Rabbi Epstein captivated our attention from his introduction to the Hassidic Jewish
way of life , throughout our tour which put us right in the middle of their community,
to ending up with a delicous kosher lunch!
We've now a new appreciation for the Hassidic people and has inspired us to further re explore the bible.
I would recommend this as the number one activity to choose when in Brooklyn. |

| My husband, myself and friends really loved the tour! Even though we are all Jewish, we learned so much from the Rebbe about Chasidic customs and beliefs. He was informative, friendly and answered every one of our questions with knowledge and good humor. We have already recommended it to other people! We were disappointed to have missed seeing a Torah scribe, but we found out it is not available Sundays in the summer much to our disappointment. It was a wonderful experience for all of us!

| The tour was fascinating, particularly the trip to the synagogue, but the rabbi spent too much time talking to us about philosophy and religion, details that were not necessary to understand what we were seeing. |
