Rabbi Epstein N.

Business Owner

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved the Chassidic Walking Tour. It is one thing to learn about Chassidic culture through books or movies, but nothing is better than experiencing it first-​hand. These people are so dedicated to their faith and families. We have much respect for the Chassidic community. Everyone that we met was so warm and friendly. I was invited to wear tefillin at the main synagogue. I’ve never seen anyone do that at my temple, so I was unfamiliar with the practice. They were nice enough to let me use a set and they talked me through the blessings. I have since ordered my own set of tefillin from Israel and I am excited to use them. The falafel sandwich that I had for lunch was the best one I’ve ever had. My girlfriend said she hadn’t had one that good since her Birthright Israel trip. The Chabad movement and the other Chassidic Jews are truly keeping Judaism alive, and I must tip my yarmulke to them. ;)

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.
