We had a small group, so our tour guide took time to explain Hasidic philosophy/theology to us at the beginning. We then toured seven different sites around the neighborhood. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and open. I was most impressed by how he explained the connections between Hasidic thought and how they lead their lives.

The original Jewish Tours
Rabbi Epstein turned what began as classes into tours of the community in 1982 so visitors can experience the community through the eyes of a local.
02.
Licensed Chassidic Guides
All our guides grew up exposed to all sects of Judaism including multiple chassidic, yeshivish, and orthodox groups providing a wide breath of knowledge on all of Jewish life.
03.
Go Behind Closed doors
Many of our locations take you behind closed doors (at guides discretion) to gain an insider's view into Judaism, Jewish, Chassidic, and Chabad life. Our tours don't just walk by we walk inside and gain a deeper understanding of the practices, customs, and traditions while answering all your questions you were afraid to ask.

Fascinating "behind the scenes" of Hasidic life in Brooklyn. As must see – even for Episcopalians!

Great tour, very informative, get to see a town through the eyes of the locals, getting to a depth of it, that one wouldn’t be able to get on his own.

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.

great tour to kill some of our pre-conceived idea…. Sometimes I wondered if we were still in NYC ! One of the many aspects of New York !

“Friendship and understanding ensued! Yozef was our guide and although the tour started out a little slow as he is shy, it ended up being one of the best tours we took in NYC given the insights into a culture different from our own. Yozef was warm, funny, engaging and willing to share insights into both his religion and his way of life. He answered every question, no matter how awkward, and gave us a comprehensive tour of the neighborhood to understand both the practical aspects of living the Chabad life but also the spiritual reasons for doing so.
We did not know this but the last Rabbe for the community lived in this area and so the site is a holy one. That made for a tour that included the Synagogue, the museum and house of the Rabbe with preserved artifacts, a fruit store, a Judaica store, a Scribe, a deli for very yummy treats, and an art gallery. Wonderful.
There is simply no way to grasp the depth of the Jewish religion in a few hours but if you are interested in a religion different than your own and understanding more about the daily lives of the people who practice it then I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.”

The History

Rabbi Beryl Epstein began running classes for visitors to the Chabad Rebbe and evolved over the years to one of the most respected and world-renowned tours in NYC. Through humor and charisma he shared Chassidic love and welcomed visitors on a journey through Chassidic life providing what people found to be a profound Jewish experience.
