you will never get the people who are incosiderate to change their behavior, because their attitude is “we ARE the Catskills in the summer”

Very nice. I hope it makes a difference to country visitors. I’m sure most people don’t realize how what is to them normal, CITY behavior (even if it’s not right)negatively impacts on the local community.

By the way, I have heard this said: “We keep these stupid little towns going the other 10 months of the year so they should be kissing our feet.” Not so. Saying “good morning”, “thank you” & giving a smile is normal behavior. When we treat others politely & with consideration, they do the same to us. As Mr. Cohen says, it’s a Kiddush Hashem to behave like a mentsch.

None of this applies to me….I stay home!

Well written! It should be printed up and hung up in EVERY colony, shul, and Jewish store in the Catskills!!!

Another valubale example of Hakoras Hatov and kiddush hashem, would be to have your colony raise money for your Volunteer Fire Department. Unlike ” in the city” where we have a fire station with a crew around the clock. In the “country” almost every Fire dept is volunteer. They drop everything and run to help us in our time of need, let’s show them we truly appreciate it !
