Hassidic Williamsburg: A Self-Guided Audio Tour in Brooklyn
Overview
On this self-guided walking tour of Brooklyn's Williamsburg, you’ll hear about the thriving Hasidic Jewish community that rebuilt itself from the ashes of the Holocaust. You’ll also discover how these Yiddish-speaking religious Jews have created a complete ecosystem that preserves their traditions alongside life in modern New York City. This tour begins at the Williamsburg waterfront facing Manhattan, where Jewish immigrants first arrived via the “Jewish Highway” (the Williamsburg Bridge).
