| Grande partecipazione e disponiblità della guida e di tutti gli interlocutori incontrati. Molto interessanti itemi trattati, in particolare quelli relativi al restauro dei rotoli della Torah, alla realizzzione del pane.
Guida competente e paziente.
Esperienza da consigliare. |

| Where else can you go no questions asked and be escorted around an area often seen as closed off to outsiders and be made to feel welcome? My husband and I happened upon your brochure and called last minute and booked the tour for the following morning. We showed up not sure what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised. The tour guide, Rabbi Kaplan, was engaging and knowledgable. Both myself, who has had years of various levels of Jewish exposure and my husbnd, who is not Jewish and has had zero exposure learned a lot and would not hesitate to go again. We saw the famous "770", learned about the history of Lubavich, saw a mikveh and learned briefly about its role in religous jewish life, a matzah factory, area stores, ate a kosher lunch and saw scribes at work repairing Torah scrolls and other ritual items. All in about 3 hours. Like I said, where else could you find this? If I find myself in the area again with other friends, I intend on booking another tour, and I know I will learn even more again. |

| I enjoyed learning about the Hassidic people of Brooklyn and how they live. It's like visiting a living museum. The tour guides give you great insight into the community. The kosher lunch, which was included in the price, was also really great. I highly recommend it. |

| I felt like a visiting dignitary. The kindness and hospitality was a wonderful breath of fresh air in NYC. The bakery and the mikvah were amazing. I highly recommend people of all faiths visit for a mystic understanding of their Jewish roots in action. |
