Watching “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” was an interesting insight into the importance of the Catskills for Jewish families - the “family camp” environment and the tradition of everyone going back every summer and seeing the same people. It’s a great show if you haven’t watched.

Here's how the 'Dirty Dancing' resort looks today

The real name of the resort is Mountain Lake Lodge, but for a generation of film fans, it'll always be Kellerman's.

Fascinating. I never knew this. Thank you for posting. I’m not Jewish but I lived in the Catskills for years. I love the area.
