Mayer was a great guide to Crown Heights! It starts in a library (be sure to read instructions on how to find the entrance/where to go), where he answers initial questions and explains how the tour works. I found that this set the group up for a respectful and engaging tour, where everyone felt comfortable asking/answering sincere questions. I felt the tour gave a relatively comprehensive overview of how the community lives and practices their faith. I think additional reading before or after the tour would help contextualize the community both within Brooklyn and within Judaism, plus help visitors ask questions and get more out of the tour. I was glad I had some familiarity with Hasidic Judaism before I came so that I could put what I read together with what I was seeing on the tour. My mother and I went on the tour together and spent the rest of her trip to New York talking about what we had learned, and it was the highlight of her visit!

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.

Very warm and welcoming host, knowledgeable and eager to share his culture and answer questions…( p.s. totally random - He looks like Calogero if the kid in the Bronx Tale had been Jewish 😄

A very educational experience in the life and culture of the community. Rabi Mayer was an inspirational host who shared the long held traditions that continue sustain and feed the souls of generations.
