Walking Tour: Historic Jewish Williamsburg

Join us for a new walking tour with historian Bradley Shaw!

Chasidic Williamsburg is a neighborhood steeped in history and tradition. As you walk through the streets, you'll notice the distinctive attire of the Chasidic men and women as well as the Yiddish signage on the businesses which serve the growing population.

Join educator and urban historian Bradley Shaw on Wednesday, October 7th at 2:00pm ET and explore this fascinating neighborhood, including significant synagogues like Beth Jacob Ohev Sholom, the oldest Orthodox Jewish congregation in Brooklyn, and Beth Elohim, an 1875 Gothic synagogue built by Reform Jews and now housing a Chasidic yeshiva. You will also visit Lee Avenue, the main shopping area, Bais Rochel, a former public high school turned Satmar girls' private school, and hear other stories of the fabric of Chasidic Williamsburg with a little bit of Hipster Williamsburg mixed in.

Meet Brad on the southwest corner of Marcy Avenue and Broadway. Tickets must be purchased in advance of arrival.

This tour will end at Gottlieb's Restaurant, located on the corner of Division Avenue and Roebling Street.
