| Such a fascinating glimpse into a culture 1000's of years old. I appreciated so much the willingness of the Chabad Lubivitch Hassidic group to open themselves to outsiders. I believe that sharing promotes acceptance and respect among different people with different faiths. I feel like coming across your tour was exactly what I was looking for as I continually read and try to understand Jewish culture and traditions. Thanks to Rabbi Einstein for the inciteful day.

| The Chassidic Walking Tour was the best and most interesting thing we did on our eight day trip to NYC. Both Rabbi Epstein and Rabbi Yisroel Ber Kaplan were most gracious and spent considerable time with our small group of just two couples. Both Rabbi's did a wonderful job of answering our questions and showing us around the Lubavitch area in Crown Heights. Would highly recommend this tour to both Jewish and non Jewish (ourselves) alike. | ||||||

| The tour helps one understand the culture and lifestile of the Lubavitch Hassids. The information provided touches upon the history, values and customs of the community. The guide was very friendly , knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Tours like this promote tolerance and understanding. The little lunch was simple but the food was delicious and healthy. Thank you! | ||||||

Informative Tour of Chassidic Life

| This tour was very informative and educational to help gain an understanding of the Chassidic way of Jewish life. I had the opportunity to see different aspects of daily life eg prayer, ritual bathing. I also saw a sopher (Jewish scribe) at work and gained an understanding into the history of the Chassidic Jewish Community. This tour is for both Jews and non-Jews. | ||||||

The highlight of our tourist activities

| We had come to New York to visit our son and attend his synagogue. We did several of the tourist kind of things but this was the best for us. Seeing the Chassidic Jewish community from the inside, visiting the yeshiva , watching the Torah scroll repairs, all made the tour a wonderful experience. (the lunch at the end was pretty good too) The Rabbi leading us was friendly and very open to us and our questions even though we both see Jewish life and expression a little differently. I would highly recommend this tour for Jew and non-Jew alike. Actually I think this tour is especially good for someone that is unfamiliar with Jewish things as the Rabbi is a fabulous teacher and a superb story teller. Bobbi and I could have spent the entire day in the Levi Yitzchak library. Thank you so much for the experience. | ||||||

A unique look at Chassidic Jewish life in NY
|

| Thu, May 21 10:00 AM | lindaridge | Female | Unspecified | International Tourist(s) | Other | |
| This was a fascinating look at the life of Chassidic community. We had a lovely guide and her young son who showed us places most people outside the community would not get to see. Our group of 8 consisted of Jewish and non Jewish people. This was good too to understand different customs. We were free to take pictures, ask any questions and just to see how people live their lives here. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Jewish life and customs. | ||||||

terrific experience connecting with Jewish Roots

| Rabbi Beryl Epstein was very friendly and informative. He answered many questions. We especially enjoyed visiting the busy synogogue and seeing how Torah scrolls are repaired, how Tefillin are made and sharing some common as well as different Jewish experiences. Not everyone on the tour was Jewish and I think the non-Jews in our group particularly found it very interesting. Even though I am Jewish and I was born in Brooklyn, raised in Long Island, and I returned to medical school in Brooklyn, I had never really had an opportunity to connect with the Chasidic community. They had always seemed much of a mystery to me. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Brooklyn. It was well worth time time spent. | ||||||

| My husband and I, along with our son and daughter-in-law, enjoyed the tour. It was great to view the Chassidic community's way of life and have the activities explained and our questions answered. Our tour guide was friendly, respectful, and clear in his explanations and answers. The lunch was delicious, and we enjoyed getting to know the other people on our tour. I would recommend your tour with no reservation. Sincerely, Joanna McMahan | ||||||

"Insider's Access" to a fascinating community

| We were a family of 5 -- three adults and two kids. I would say this is more of a teen or adult tour, but our kids found it interesting. We were able to view the floor of the bustling synagogue, a fascinating glimpse into this community. The men and my 6 yr old son entered the synagogue and conversed with some of the rabbi; we watched them from the "viewing room" above. This was definitely the highlight of the tour. Learning about 770 and the Rebbe was educational and interesting. Rabbi Epstein seems a wonderful man who enjoys sharing his knowledge of his community. Thank you Rabbi! Strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Chassidic life or Judaism. | ||||||

| This tour was recommended to me by a family member, who was extremely enthusiastic about it's content and guides. After taking the tour myself, I agree completely, and encourage anyone interested in knowing about ways of living one's religion and learning about being happy in one's life choices, to join this tour. No question to either of the guides was off limits and I felt as if the community was unselfishly sharing itself with me. Thank you. | ||||||

| Hosts were pleasant. Interesting view of a different culture. The word of "delicatessen" should be eliminated from the luncheon description. | ||||||
