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."

Okay-it's all coming back to me (my mistake)--it was Kinderlande, or Kinderland that was located on the other shore of Sylvan Lake, not Kindervelt.

My late Aunt Ida was active in union organizing (ILGWU) as a young woman--I believe that she was a Socialist, though we didn't discuss politics.
