Culture, cuisine, and comedy came together to form an intricate network of hotels, bungalow colonies, and resorts throughout New York’s Catskill Mountains. With a strong Jewish lineage, the Borscht Belt came to be known as a distinctly American story—one represented by a diverse clientele that journeyed to the mountains in search of fellowship, basking under the warmth of the summer sun. Now, with the remaining hotel structures vanishing one by one, it is through these remaining artifacts, such as matchbooks, silverware, menus, and even architectural details, that this story can be shared. The lecture employs these relics to share with visitors the complete and complicated story of the Borscht Belt—one that extends before the Civil War and reveals the many industries, as well as individuals, that made it successful.
Presented live and in-person by <a href="https://alexprizgintas.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Alex Prizgintas</a>.
A&nbsp;historian, musician, and lecturer who focuses on the neglected history of the Catskills and Hudson Valley region, Alex Prizgintas serves as president of the Woodbury Historical Society in Orange County, New York, and has been published in the&nbsp;Hudson River Valley Review&nbsp;and the&nbsp;New York Archives Magazine. A preservationist, Alex stewards the&nbsp;<a href="https://alexprizgintas.com/borscht-belt-tourism-history" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Richard L.

Music as Spiritual Practice
Weekend Retreat with Martha Gallagher
May 22 – 24, 2026
During this contemplative retreat we explore music as spiritual practice, using several beautiful practices that, while seemingly simple are actually quite potent, enriching our time with and in our music. These practices come together to offer us the opportunity to connect more deeply with ourselves, our instruments, the music and Spirit. Whether we are playing, singing, practicing, learning, creating or performing, we can transform our involvement with our music into a deep and rich spiritual practice.
This retreat is for all musicians (instrumental or vocal); most suitable for intermediate beginner to advanced-level experience. Note: this retreat would not be suitable for novice levels.
Please bring your instrument.
Please note: this is not a technique or repertoire worship; it is a spiritual retreat.
