Legends of Leisure: The Golden Era of the Borscht Belt Resorts
Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")
Community Scholar Program presents a virtual tour with Dr. Sharon Keller exploring the Catskills Borscht Belt Museum in Ellenville, New York. Through photographs, recreated spaces, and memorabilia, the museum recalls the resort world that once drew generations of mostly Jewish vacationers to the Catskills and helped shape American Jewish culture and entertainment. The program also highlights colorful figures such as quick-painting entertainer Morris Katz, whose performances captured the humor and spirit of the Borscht Belt.
