I had the privilege of...

Sebastian_M, Jul 2026

I had the privilege of joining Meyer Friedman's Hasidic tour in Crown Heights, and it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip to New York. As a member of the Hasidic community himself, Meyer is an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging guide who brings the history, traditions, and daily life of the community to life with warmth, authenticity, and genuine passion. The tour provided fascinating insights that I never would have gained simply by walking around on my own, and it gave me a much deeper appreciation and understanding of the community and its culture. One of the highlights was having the opportunity to meet members of the Hasidic community and hear about their lives firsthand. Those personal interactions made the experience feel genuine and memorable, adding a level of understanding that simply isn't possible from reading a book or watching a documentary. What made the tour especially special was how respectful, personal, and welcoming it felt. It wasn't just a history lesson, it was an opportunity to better understand a way of life that is often misunderstood. I would highly recommend Meyer Friedman's tour to anyone visiting New York who is curious to learn about Hasidic Judaism and Crown Heights. It was an informative, eye-opening, and truly special experience that I'll truly never forget! - Sebastian Moore

From education to the culture of clothing, you can learn the main part of this friendly community! The instructor is really patient and you can feel a strong connection between one another in this community. It’s amazing to see how those young man studying in school, where they built their personalities and values, debate the moral issues to explore their horizons. Surprisingly, they’ve been kept this way of studying for thousands years, this appears particularly precious. I’m the first person from northwest China to visit, people might have stereotype about this community who thought they’re fixed and traditional but when you truly feel the atmosphere here, you’ll find that their values to the world is welcoming everyone. I see the nature part of the community, honesty, faith and trust, people here are so close to each other, they hold the same beliefs and use their own hands to build it. They followed their 613 commandments, it’s like in their bones and blood, everything is that nature. In this crowd world, I truly appreciate their point of view to keep their principles from generation to generation.

Very informative tour,...

Very informative tour, and learned a lot about the Jewish community. Rabbi Mayer is very friendly and welcoming, and he also invited us to his home. Would definitely recommend.
