So Informative Loved it!
I headed along to this tour on my own as I had always been interested in the Chassidic traditions and their culture. I learnt so much that changed the way that I view their community. Beryl was so friendly and open to all the questions we threw at him. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends when they head to NYC.
Great traditions and culture!
Very much enjoyed the tour of the synagogue, the rabbi's explanation of their faith, and the kosher lunch. Also found a couple of interesting books at the Judaica bookstore that would have been difficult to source elsewhere. Can't say enough good things about this tour. - M Heeter
An amazing look into the Chassidic way of life!
For anybody who wishes to get an insider's view of what Chassidism is like this tour is, no matter how much you may already have learned from reading, an essential experience and a revelation. We didn't expect to see such a close and intimate view of the culture, and we were surprised to find that, for the Lubavich at least, such a community is open for outsiders to visit, discuss and understand.
Amazing tour I learned so much.
If you are interested in Jewism or the traditional jewish lifestyle, this will be a great opportunity to see a lot of interesting places!
Great Educational Tour
Coming from the Reform stream of Judaism it was GREAT to go into the Orthodox side. I have toured the Orthodox neighborhoods in Israel and now Crown Heights. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone of any background or faith. It is always good to see the other side. We had 4 in our group and it seemed really personal. GREAT GUIDE.
A good introduction to contemporary Chassidic life
