Presented by Phil Brown, Northeastern University

The Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center welcomes Phil Brown, Founder and President of the Catskills Institute. Phil discusses the Jewish experience in the Catskills; from the first Jewish boarding house before the turn of the 20th century, through the decline and current transformation. This presentation shows images of the hotels and bungalow colonies, the people who stayed and worked there, and the food and entertainment that sustained them.
