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 !!

This is one of the most mind blowing experiences I have had in my whole life. As an agnostic I went on the tour just out of curiosity and while I left feeling immensely happy that I am not a chasidic jew myself, I also left feeling more informed and in many ways also inspired. There are many things that I will never understand about this lifestyle, but I found that many things in the philiosophical base of judaism is very much useful in my daily life. I will definetely recommend this to any one who is a curious person such as myself.

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!

This was a Divine Appointment tour. I set out on my mission to L.A. But I did not have the money for the trip. I had two jobs to do. The first to tell all Jews I met in divine appointments that it is time to return to Israel because something heavy is going down in the West and YHVH said “Wherever you are at the ends of the heavens or at the ends of the earth, I will bring you back!”. The second was to check how my book Songs of Messiah was doing in the LA book fair. When I recieved enough money to fly to New York from London I did that. I told my cousin in Brooklyn to drop me at the nearest Jewish community. I ended up outside the Jewish Childrens Museum and saw a sign saying “Welcome Moshiach” or something like that. I went to the shop with the sign and they sent me down to the BASEMENT. There there was a Rabbi (a certain Rabbi Epstein) standing and he asked me if I had come for the tour. I said “Is there a tour?” I said “I came to see what we goyim can do to help in the Welcome Messiah Campaign”. He was busy with the tour and so handed me over to a couple of other Rabbis who gave me the Seven Laws of Noah which I know. I decided “I must go on the tour.” In Greek terms “It was my destiny”. And what a great decision it was! One of the first things Rabbi Epstein said was “This is the biggest Jewish community outside of Israel in the world”! Perfect more than any people these need to let YHVH transplant them to Israel! The insights I was given to the Chasidic way of life and the clear boundaries of who and who is not a Jew was amazing(Although I still dont know why they can’t do all that in Israel). I have studied a little Judaism in Israel, with this Rabbi and that but in this tour I was given some very precious insights and learned things I never knew before. One very important insight I recieved confirmed my understanding that the Torah is a system set up by YHVH which if obeyed will bring protection and blessing on the obedient. I knew this already from the tithe and from my Christian background. We believe before one letter can be removed from the Torah, the sun will disappear first. But the Rabbi’s explanation of the Mezuzah took me to a new level of understanding! Then he gave me advice about getting a cheap airline ticket to Los Angeles. I followed this and got a ticket for 186 dollars! Oh YHVH be praised for this amazing divine appointment!

This was a fascinating glimpse into a usually closed community. The Rabbi was very welcoming and happy to share information about the Lubavitch Hassidic community. We were able to observe activity in the synagogue, visit a local bookstore and enjoy lunch in a local cafe. We gained some interesting insights into Hassidic life that had only previously been accessible through reading. I would have loved to have visited more sites, but learned so much from the conversation.

This tour was amazing. Our guide was very skilled and could answer all of our questions. We’ve been to places where we wouldn’t have gone on ourselves. She gave us a great insight of Jewish traditions. We learnt a lot. Thank you again for the time we spent together going to these interesting places. We will definitely recommend this tour for people who want to see another New York! Laurence and her family ( from France).

This was a fascinating experience, and one I enjoyed thoroughly. Any question was welcomed and answered thoughtfully, and I came away informed and for reasons I can’t quite make sense of, quite inspired. A must for people visiting NY.

Our tour with Rabbi Epstein was an enjoyable and educational visit. With passion and approachability (and a twinkle in his eyes), the Rabbi shared key beliefs and history of the Chassidic Community) and their relevance to our group.
