Join us for a virtual tour led by Dr. Sharon Keller exploring the Catskills Borscht Belt Museum in Ellenville, New York, a lively tribute to the storied resort world that once drew generations of mostly Jewish vacationers to the mountains of upstate New York. Through photographs, recreated spaces, memorabilia, and exhibitions that spotlight the food, comedy, and social life of the Borscht Belt, the museum preserves the spirit of an era that helped shape American Jewish culture and popular entertainment. Along the way, colorful figures like Morris Katz, the famed quick-painting entertainer of the Catskills hotels, help bring to life the creativity, humor, and larger-than-life personality that made this world so memorable.
