We went on this Tour over four years ago and it still feeds my Soul to this day. No words can describe it’s impact. Rabbi Beryl Epstein is so welcoming and his prayer for me and my Mother at the end, I believe is baring fruit in my life at this very moment. I love NYC but on this particular, having not seen most of the amazing sites NY has to offer chose to go on a Jewish Walking Tour. It’s WILL colour your life one way or another from the day you visit. To witness the simplicity of the dedication and passion to Gods Laws warms even the hardest of hearts. We are not excursion veterans, we discover our own places but this one was so worth it and now I have grown more as a person I think I would definitely go back again to expand on what I got from the tour the first time. Enjoy it. You won’t regret it.

I am not a Jew but am very interested in the Jewish culture and their history. The Hassidic Walking tour was the perfect way to see and learn about a people who are solely committed to their beliefs without trying to impose them on others. I happened to be there the day after their holy days and there were visitors there from around the world. It was quite the center of activity as they were all leaving to return to their homes. We observed worship, saw how they restore Torahs, learned about their rituals and laws and how they have integrated themselves into today’s world without losing who they are as a people. I found the whole experience to be enlightening and would highly recommend it.

Excellent tour, my husband and I learned a great deal. Thank you for adjusting the tour to our shortened schedule. We are very much rooting for your success and looking forward to taking your future tours. Only one suggestion from us: First impressions – the outside entrance to the first location, ***REDACTED FOR SECURITY*** Otherwise, maybe a different meeting location, bagel/coffee shop?

I had really wanted to take this tour since a long time ago and finally did it and everything was as good as I expected! I highly recommend this tour if you want to immerse into an authentic Jewish neighborhood and learn a lot about their culture and religion. Chaya (the guide and daughter of a Rabbi) will take care of answering all your questions, you will visit different places, from kosher grocery stores to the head quarters of the Jabad-Lubavitch community. It’s a totally worth it experience!

It’s such a unique experience that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. 3 hours full of discoveries. It was very interested to talk to Rabbi and get to know explanation behind the Chassidic laws and get a glimpse at the daily life from that close.

Thankyou Rabbi Epstein. A great host. Crown Heights is an interseting neighbourhood to explore. A great insight into a different way of life and beliefs. Had no idea what to expect, but walked away glad we did the tour.

Thank you Chaya for your warmth and your knowledge. This was an incredibly informative tour. I truly enjoy it. Eye opener for someone like me who knew very little about the community. The tour was conducted respectfully but with a lot energy and knowledge by an incredible young woman – Chaya. I can only warmly recommend this tour !!
