It is near the "Borsch Belt", right? I've been up there a few times before, weird how many little secret Jewish enclaves there are in rural NY and NJ.
Haaa. We used to call them the jewish Alps. I never heard the other term. But yeah that's the lower facing nyc facing part of the Catskills. The less crowded stuff is further northwest and more out of the way for new jorkers.
I always heard 'Borscht Belt in relation to comedians.

I was hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail and the hasidics take the bus from nyc up to their rundown looking communes. They're vile sister brother fuckers those things. But yeah bethel is in the middle of jew land.
Lol, my old gf and I were hiking a section of the trail, not up there, but near the Delaware Water Gap.
We were on our way back down after three days, just did the whole hike a short piece and turn back around thing.
We were close to where we started, maybe a couple hours away, but needed to take a break, because it was fucking hot out. We had her dog with us, and we just took a moment to stretch out and lay on some boulders. She was a sports bra as he top, a pretty conservative one at that, definitely appropriate hiking gear given the temperature.
And that's when the Jews walked by.
A full family of kikes, a Schlomo and a Channah, with two little chosen ones following along behind. They had hiking poles and everything, but they wore the full hascidic Jew garb as well. Like, full conservative Jew attire.
And they gave my gf the dirtiest look you could imagine.
Luckily the dog growled at them. I miss that dog.
You dog knew to defend you against another set of dogs. Or tbh rats...
