Boro Park Jewish Hasidic Private Walking Tour
Discover Brooklyn’s hidden Hasidic neighborhood, where numerous sects coexist, offering an inside glimpse into a vibrant and unexpectedly diverse community. We will enter another world where we’ll be transported back to 18th-century Poland! While many Jewish immigrant communities in America focused on assimilation, the aftermath of the Holocaust brought a different approach. European Jewish spiritual leaders, who survived the war, rebuilt their Rabbinic courts in New York City, creating a new type of Jewish community that emphasized preserving tradition over assimilation. To this day, a growing number of communities are isolating themselves and rejecting the larger outside culture in cities and towns across the US. Usually, a neighborhood has one isolated sect, like the Satmar in Williamsburg or the Lubavitch in Crown Heights. Boro Park is the exception within the exception – a Hasidic neighborhood with diverse sects representing a large swath of the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish World.
