Borough Park was created out of Dutch farmlands. It has become one of the largest Hassidic neighborhoods in the city. We will trace the neighborhood back to pre-Hassidc times and see some of the earliest synagoues including Temple Beth El, site of the masters of the cantors, including Moshe Kousevitsky, Chagi, Hershman and Moshe Stern, Temple Emanu-El (site), the Sfardishe Shul, with cantor Yossele Rosenblatt. There is even a Reform congregation in this community. We will see Maimonides Medical Center which started in 1920 as the United Israel Zion Hospital. It’s quite a trip.

Tour Fee: Group tour for congregation or school–$500 per group.
Fee does not include bus charter.
