Private Jewish Walking Tours

Far more than a mere recital of facts pulled from books or the internet, this tour steps behind the facades to tell what actually took place inside the buildings you'll see, how the people who lived and worked in them related to one another and to the wider, non-Jewish world. The guide lived in the area as a young man. He has davened (prayed) in its synagogues, frequented its shops and restaurants, dug into its past, lived part of its history, and even performed on some of its stages. He is a world-class authority on Yiddish language and culture who has been featured on NBC's Today show and on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
