At a time when American Jews were barred from many hotels, the "Borscht Belt" was a safe getaway for the summer months & Jewish holidays. It was also a hub for Jewish culture & the birthplace of legendary entertainers. I can't wait to visit the @borschtbelt museum when it opens!

Also at the fest - check out this incredible art exhibit.

Mahjong, Herring and Mirth: Elise Pittelman's Painterly Homage to a Vanished World will be taking place at
Hunt Memorial Building, Liberty Square.

[borschtbeltmuseum @borschtbelt]

Working off photographs and source material from the era, Pittelman elevates mundane moments of Catskills summer life and renders them with a cartoonish dynamism that is at once joyous and melancholy.

Often mocked in his lifetime. 'The King of Schlock Art' is the first exhibit of Katz' work since his death in 2010, and seeks to reestablish the painter's place as an outsider artist and quintessentially American cultural phenomenon.

The frenetic pace of his one-minute paintings earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as both the world's fastest and most prolific artist. His dancing rabbis, frolicking clowns and zaftig cats were de rigueur decor in countless middle-class Jewish homes.
