Victorian Flatbush Walking Tour

The Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn is a picturesque area renowned for its magnificent Victorian mansion houses. The walking tour will take about two and a half hours; get to know the historic district, admire its striking 19th-century architecture. It includes a visit to Beth Shalom Emeth Reform Temple (BShERT). It is a merge of a number of reform congregations over the decades. Temple Beth Emeth was founded in 1911 by a woman, Hannah Hirsch. The sanctuary is a beautiful, art-deco design completed in 1913-1914; it has been used on an episode of "Law and Order" and most recently, the HBO series, "The Plot Against America."

We will pass another synagogue, Temple Isaac which was the Flatbush Christian Church in 1910. There is also, the American Islamic Albanian Mission. It is around the corner of BShERT and has been there since 1972. Also around the corner from BShERT is the home used in the major motion picture, "Sophie's Choice," in 1982.

And much more about the history of this NYC Landmarked neighborhood!
