Walking Tour of Hassidic Williamsburg
The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy presents a tour of Chasidic Williamsburg led by educator and urban historian Bradley Shaw, exploring a neighborhood that is home to one of the largest concentrations of Haredi Jews in the world. The route includes Beth Jacob Ohev Sholom, the oldest Orthodox Jewish congregation in Brooklyn; Beth Elohim, an 1875 Gothic synagogue built by Reform Jews and now housing a Chasidic Yeshiva; Lee Avenue, the main shopping area; and Bais Rachel, a former public high school turned girls’ Yeshiva. The tour weaves in stories of the fabric of Chasidic Williamsburg, with a touch of Hipster Williamsburg along the way.
