| Basically, for those of us who have no access to hassidic thought and faith, it is very interesting to have it presented by people, who live the faith.
One could comment on this or that minor aspect to the tour, but I don't want to, because it would detract from my overall enthousiasm. |

| Our group of three joined four other people for a personalized tour of Crown Heights. Both of our tour guides were knowledgeable and very open about their beliefs and their community. It was an eye opening experience we never will forget. |

| My group thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Crown Heights, especially since it was holiday time. However we are from NYC and suburbs and knew what to expect. There were people in our group who were from out of town and out of the country who did not understand what the community was about. They expected to learn about all aspects of Judaism, not realizing that this tour was one aspect of Judaism. They were confused, and really did not totally understand what they were seeing.
Rabbi Beryl Epstein is funny , entertaining and very informative about the Lubavitch lifestyle.
I think the description of the tour should emphasize that this is a glimpse at the lifestyle of the Lubavitch sect of Judaism. |

| Answered questions that I had about the traditions and beliefs of the Jewish group. Increased understanding of the reasons for traditions and daily activities. Immersion in the local community was very helpful. The attitude of the guide was very conducive to questions. |

| I was in New York to celebrate my 50th birthday. The tour was one of the most interesting, if not the most interesting things I've done in my entire life. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you so much for everything. |

| We found this tour very interesting and it was a wonderful educational experience
Good explanations were given by the two tour leader rabbis. They provided a background briefing at the begininng of the tour. The tour is structured to provide an overview of the different facets of Hassidic life, through visits to various places in the community. I would highly recommend this tour to people of all beliefs who are interested to learn about Hassidic Community. Most sincerely, Daniela, Stefano Andrea and Alberto from Italy.
Abbiamo trovato questo tour molto interessante ed educativo. Entrambi i rabbini sono disponibili ed hanno risposto in modo esaustivo a tutte le domande che abbiamo posto circa gli aspetti della vita quotidiana della comunità hassidica. Il tour, previa comunicazione, è disponibile anche in lingua italiana. Lo raccomando vivamente a tutti, di qualsiasi età o fede religiosa. |
