Warner Library

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/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">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" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Richard L. Benjamin Collection of Borscht Belt Tourism History</a>, which contains hundreds of documents, postcards, and ephemera from the Borscht Belt era. Many of these items will be brought to the lecture for attendees to view live.
Free and open to all.

Borscht Belt Artifacts: Relics of The Catskill Resort Age

In a town where history has been silenced, an eyewitness to murder speaks out in search of the boy she loved.
Combining magical realism with traditional documentary techniques, Among Neighbors examines the mystery of a small, rural town in Poland where people of two different faiths lived side by side for centuries — until the killing began. The film reveals both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on a crime committed among neighbors: the murder of Holocaust survivors, six months after the end of World War II. The chilling facts revealed in this documentary have led the office of Poland’s nationalist president to call for a ban on the film.&nbsp;
The Special Event Release includes 25 minutes of additional content in the form of a brief introduction by its award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash, and an in-depth post-film Q&amp;A compilation filmed live at sold-out screenings that reveals the fascinating making-of stories––as well as the ongoing controversy––behind this critically-acclaimed film.&nbsp;

Maintenance Artist Directed by Toby Perl Freilich 2025, USA, 95 minutes

Mierle Laderman Ukeles was inspired by Marcel Duchamp to express the notion that routine maintenance – from changing diapers to picking up city trash – can be acts of performance art. Maintenance Artist isn’t just the story of the first resident artist in the New York Sanitation Department, it is about work and art in our last half century. Penetrating, provocative, funny, and moving, Maintenance Artist
calls for a new way to be in and view our world.
Arrive early and see a short film, “Working Will Be The Work,” by the Nyack Department of Public Works, projected on the side of a DPW truck.
Meet the Filmmaker: the director, Toby Perl Freilich, will discuss her film with Nyack Public Arts Advisory Committee member Kris Burns.
Community Partners: Village of Nyack, Nyack Public Arts Advisory Committee, Edward Hopper House, GARNER Arts Center.

What Is Your Home Really Worth Right Now?

CENTURY 21 Elite Realty

The real estate market is not pricing homes one way right now - it’s being priced three different ways. Some homes are listed below market to create bidding wars and sell far over asking. Some are priced at market value and move depending on timing and demand. Others are overpriced and sit with no activity. That’s why online estimates and list prices alone can be misleading. If you're thinking about selling, the real question isn’t just “what is my home worth?” It’s: what is the right pricing strategy to maximize your outcome? Get a real evaluation based on current market behavior - not just an algorithm. 📍 Serving Westchester, Rockland &amp; Bergen County
