I am doing research for my thesis about the "hazentes" - women who sang cantorial music before women were able to become cantors. Specifically, I am writing about Sophie Kurtzer, Bas Sheva, Perele Feig, Freydele Oysher, Sheindele the Hazente, and the Malavsky Family. Many of these women performed in the Catskills. If anyone knew them or their families or has any memories of seeing them perform, I would greatly appreciate your input! Thank you, Adrianne Slack
