My Jewish name ends with "Israel Alter," who was one of the Hasidic leaders of the Gur dynasty. Even though I don't live an ultra-Orthodox lifestyle, I can still see similarities between myself and my grandparents, who were deeply rooted in that tradition in the streets of these neighborhoods like e.g. Bnei Brak, Mea Shearim, Geula or Zfat.

​

Step into the heart of Bnei Brak (only 15min away from Tel Aviv), one of Israel’s most densely populated and spiritually vibrant cities, for an immersive experience into the world of the Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jewish community.

​

On this guided walking tour, we’ll explore the rhythms of daily life shaped by deep religious commitment and tradition. From yeshivot (Torah academies) to bustling kosher bakeries, modest fashion shops, and synagogues on every corner, you’ll gain insight into the values, beliefs, and social structures that define this unique way of life.

​

Along the way, we’ll discuss key themes such as the role of Torah study, community life, family dynamics, gender roles, and how the Haredi world navigates modern Israeli society. Whether you’re curious, thoughtful, or simply seeking deeper understanding, this tour offers a respectful and eye-opening look into a world often seen—but rarely truly known.
