I might have attended a service there when I was too small to remember. We had a place in Kauneonga lake, not far from there, before we shifted our summerhome to Wurtsboro Hills.
It looks like the kind of property the Lubavitchers would buy trying to build a new community. That area's starting to become NYC's outer ring. Helluva commute, but I've known others who've done longer.
It's a nice little shul. It's a pity there isn't a community to support it, but we, the children and grandchildren of that generation have become farther flung.
It's sad, the way the Catskills have changed, but inevitable. I vacation in Northern Minnesota and go to shul in south Minneapolis. Aunts, Cousins, Friends have all found their way to corners of the globe, except my High School friend Franny, who is raising a family of her own in her family's ancestral apartment in Maspeth.
I was born in the Bronx, grew up in Westchester, and now live in Brooklyn. I have siblings in Westchester, Binghamton, NY and Jacksonville, FL, and cousins in Rochester, NY, Long Island, CA, TX, WI, Uruguay, and Israel. That seems to be the way of the world.
