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?

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.

“Rabbi Beryl provides a most interesting tour of his world. We began with a short orientation at the library. Introductions were made, philosophies exchanged.
We got a feel for this community and what makes it special.
With his open demeaner and great sense of humor, we left understanding the basics of this group. There was no criticism of the participants, and no soliciting with tzudukah boxes.
A most interesting way to the understanding of another culture. A great way for families and friends to spend some time thinking about their own history”

Can you imagine a tour that can change your life? Well this tour can. Bar none, the best tour I have ever taken! Rabbi Beryl shared some information that changed my life. He “brings home” why some of the Jewish observances are so important. The tour gave so many of our observances MEANING. I learned so much!It’s a great tour, seeing the scribes, the mikvah, and the matzoh factory — but the heart and soul of the tour is Rabbi Beryl and his unique way of teaching. He makes everyone feel welcome and part of the tour — not just an observer. I can’t image anyone, Jewish or otherwise, not learning so much about the heart of Jewish New York from this tour. Enjoy, it may change your life — It did mine!

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!
