WELCOME TO KUTSHER'S
Film--Sat. to Mon., October 2 to 4; Discussion--Tuesday, October 5
Our first movie of the season. Kutsher’s was the last surviving Jewish resort in the Catskills, one of the legendary Borscht Belt hotels. The Catskill resorts were not only a Jewish refuge and family vacation paradise, they also gave birth to American stand-up comedy. Watch famous stars in action; marvel at the abundance of kosher feasts where no one can get away with ordering one main dish; see the non-stop whirl of recreational activities.
Available online from 10/2 to 10/4. Discussion via Zoom the night of 10/5, led by Faith Brown.
