Growing up in The Jewish Catskills: Essay and Memoir Writers Reflect Upon Their Experiences of The Borscht Belt | Saturday - 4:30PM

General Admission - $15.00


Alongside their many differences, accomplished author Eileen Pollack (Maybe Its Me: On Being The Wrong Kind of Woman, The Bible of Dirty Jokes, The Rabbi in the Attic, etc.), and new authors, Lita Slutsky Newman Moses (The Red Hotel: Tribute to a Lost World) and Dr. Arnold Rugg (A Vet's Life in Dog Years) share their common connection to the once vibrant world that The Borscht Belt Museum (and Fest) celebrates. 

Daniel Noah Moses, historian, peace builder, educator, author, also a scion of the Slutsky clan, moderates this discussion around memory, struggle, joy, and love. 

Duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes
