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.

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 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.

This tour is thoroughly recommended for any visitor to New York who wants to enjoy a great travel experience. What you see and experience on this tour will stay with you long after the memories of the tourist sites of manhattan have been forgotten. These men where very knowledgeable and engaging and we all learnt more in a few short hours than we could have from any guide books. Well worth while – 5 stars!

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.
