Show Notes
The Borscht Belt hotels and resorts featured more than just celebrity musicians and comedians… they also featured celebrity Cantors for Jewish religious services and holidays. The Borscht Belt Museum in Ellenville is hosting a panel this Sunday entitled “When Showbiz Went to Shul: Star Catskills Cantors” about the fierce competition between Borscht Belt venues to book the best of the best, in Cantors. Radio Catskill’s Ronald Kelson spoke with two of the panelists, Henry Sapoznik and Danny Fingeroth, to learn more about this singular time in our area’s history and also about the upcoming event.
