Wow! What a powerful and moving event! It was truly remarkable to see a packed room of about 100 people as our community gathered to hear the courageous story of Amit Ganish, a survivor of the Nova massacre. Her powerful journey deeply touched us all. A heartfelt thank you to Cary Israel for being a Gold sponsor of this event and helping make it possible. Thank you Yisroel-Steve Rambach for the pictures.
