Join us for a photography viewing of "The Ruins of the Borscht Belt" and an intimate conversation with the artist. Marissa Scheinfeld has taken frequent trips back to her hometown region of Sullivan Country to photograph the remains of the Borscht Belt era. The surreal images depict the relics of a bygone and truly cherished time in American-Jewish history - the infamous Catskill resorts.

Light Refreshments and Coffee will be served.
