| We could have gone on for hours discussing all the many aspect of Chassidism. The Rabbi was open, informative, congenial. A wonderful experience I think everyone should participate in to better understand the lifestyle of the Chassidic Jews. Their devotion to G-d is truly inspiring. Thank you for the experience. I will pass it on to my friends and hope to some day return. DJG, Sayville, NY | ||||||

| This tour provided an exciting and educational view of a culture which had previously not welcomed outsiders or probing questions. I now understand the culture, its participants and the lure of the community.There are still some hard questions which remain unanswered. | ||||||

| Even though the guide was enthusiasitc and had good knowledge, the tour was limited to very few destinations. The website gives the impression that it is a 3 hour walking tour; whereas, the walking part does not exceed an hour. Also, the tour guide had a hidden agenda (i.e. make Lubavitchs look like a great group of people) and his main goal for the tour does not align with those of the visitors who would like to see Crown Heights in more detail. | ||||||

| It was a really interesting inside look i got to the Community of the lubavish jews and i do understand the whole religion and their appearance in public better now. The two Rabbis answered all questions i had and tried to make it an interesting walk overall. I went to places i would never have seen. The three hours went by really fast, i was amazed. I really recommend the walk to understand better the religious culture, thoughts and habbits of the hasidic lubavish jews. | ||||||

Chassidic Daily Walking Tour- a MUST to go

| I highly recommend the Chassidic Daily Walking Tour to adults, children, teenagers...basically of all ages. I brought a group of teenagers and felt that the tour guides really spoke on their level and explained things to them in a clear way. The girls loves the tour and would love to come back to discover more things about Crown Heights. The tour whets your appetite to want to learn more and keeps you thinking. It's insightful as well as fun and entertaining. The tour ended with a delicious meal at a restaurant which really ended our day in a classy and tasty way. If you are looking for an informative and interesting and insightful way to be enlightened or enlighten others regarding Crown Heights, I would highly suggest you take this Chassidic Tour. | ||||||

| The tour teaches one a great deal about Chassidic life in Brooklyn. We enjoyed visit to the various industries, the synagogue and we got a delicious lunch. There is also food on offer for vegetarians. And after the tour we received our photos via e-mail. Mary and Urs | ||||||

| Don't be put off by the black hats and long beards. The two rabbis who led the tour were very personable and open, they were willing to answer any questions they were asked, and the tour took us to the heart of Lubavitch and really let us know how they tick. Only three of the nine on the tour were Jewish. The tour included a nice lunch. Very worthwhile. | ||||||

| The tour was very well conducted by Rabbi Epstein. He spoke in understandable terms and was most willing to answer questions, enabling us to learn about Chabad, its roots, its teachings, and its logic in dealing with everyday living. We are glad we chose to take this tour. | ||||||

| Very interesting insight into how other families conduct their daily lives. Facinating to see what takes place inside buildings that I've passed many times without giving a thought to the ferver and zeal that others have for their faith. Long discussions with the Rabbis on diverse topics. | ||||||

| If you are interested in seeing a fascinating subculture preserving tradition within a modern society or if you have a general interest in religion/spirituality, this tour provides a glimpse into the Chassidic way of life. The rabbi gives a thorough one-hour discussion with the group (questions encouraged) before the actual tour. The highlight of the tour itself for me was the visit to the synagogue, which was far more interesting than I would have imagined. The dedication of the Chassidim to their beliefs and way of life was impressive. | ||||||
