Kindervelt was in Orange county on the other side of the Hudson. It also had a strong emphasis on Jewish culture, history, and Zionism with songs in both Hebrew and Yiddish but not heavily socialist (unlike, say, Habonim). Kindervelt is mentioned in Samuel Friedman's book "Jew Vs Jew: The Struggle for the Soul of American Jewry."
