On September 29, join us for a glimpse into Montreal’s Hasidic community through Outremont and the Mile End. For this tour, during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, guide Steven Lapidus will share the community’s Sukkot traditions, including handmade sukkahs that are built outside many homes in the neighbourhood.
Formerly the home to the vast majority of Montreal’s Jews in the first part of the twentieth century, today, the leafy neighbourhood hosts dozens of Hasidic groups and their synagogues. Led by Steven Lapidus, this tour will illuminate Montreal’s Hasidic history through a tour of its institutions.
Please note that this tour will be offered in English. Questions may be asked in French or English.
