Reviews
This experience offers an authentic immersion into the Hassidic community, allowing access to unique buildings and shops while engaging with prominent community members. Mayer serves as an insightful, patient, and kind guide, dedicated to fostering dialogue and understanding among diverse cultures, races, and religions. I highly recommend this tour.
This experience is truly fantastic and one of a kind! We gained so much knowledge, explored many fascinating places, and had an enjoyable time. Learning about the Hasidic Jewish community was genuinely enlightening, and we are grateful for their openness. Our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable and informative. I highly recommend this experience, whether you reside in New York City or are just visiting. It's truly unique.
This walking tour offered an intriguing insight into the unique Hasidic community of Brooklyn. As someone outside of the Jewish faith, I found the information provided to be entirely new, though some tour members were familiar with it. Every question I had was addressed clearly and simply. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who inquires about the best part of our NYC visit. It truly was a wonderful day.
This experience was truly one of the best parts of my journey. Mayer was an engaging, well-informed, and friendly guide. I gained plenty of knowledge and had the chance to connect with some wonderful people.
The experience was highly educational, offering insights into the life and culture of the community. Rabi Mayer served as an inspiring host, sharing treasured traditions that nourish and sustain generations.
The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, showing great knowledge and enthusiasm in sharing his culture while answering all our questions. Interestingly, he resembled Calogero from Bronx Tale, but with a Jewish twist.
The tour was highly informative, providing great insights into the Jewish community. Rabbi Mayer was warm and inviting, even welcoming us into his home. I would strongly recommend this experience.
Mayer served as an excellent guide during our tour of Crown Heights. It begins at a library, so be sure to check the instructions for finding the entrance. Mayer took the time to address initial questions and explain the tour's format, which fostered a respectful and engaging atmosphere where participants felt at ease asking honest questions. The tour provided a thorough insight into the community's lifestyle and religious practices. I believe that doing some reading beforehand or afterward would further enhance understanding of both the community's context within Brooklyn and Judaism, enabling visitors to formulate more insightful questions. I appreciated having some prior knowledge of Hasidic Judaism, as it helped me connect the information I learned with what I observed during the tour. My mother and I joined the tour together, and it became the focal point of her New York visit, sparking conversations throughout the rest of her trip about the insights we gained.
You can gain insightful knowledge about this friendly community's education and clothing culture. The instructor demonstrates remarkable patience, fostering a strong connection among participants. Witnessing young students debate moral issues reveals how their educational values shape their identities, a method preserved for thousands of years. As the first visitor from northwest China, I noticed a common misconception about this community being static and traditional. In reality, their welcoming values are evident. The community embodies nature, honesty, and trust, with deep bonds among members. They adhere to their 613 commandments, which are ingrained in their existence. In this chaotic world, I admire their commitment to uphold such principles through generations.
