Our guest speaker lecture series was a big success attracting many people from our metropolitan area. Our speakers included Andrew Gross, political advisor to the Deputy Consul General of Israel in NY, who came to speak about the Israeli conflict. Chris Nicola author of “No Place on Earth” came to speak about his cave explorations and his experiences in meeting the Holocaust survivors who lived in the caves for 544 days.
