newgen in boca presents the jews of asia!
L
ast February, the skies opened up and Florida was in the midst of monsoons! However, an elegant evening of Asian treats and education went on as planned. The speaker was world-renowned Rabbi Marvin Tokayer, who lectures and travels the world as one of the leading experts and authors on the Jews of Asia. More than 30 determined attendees braved the weather and came to the magnificent home of Cara and Ben Freedman in Boca Raton. Everyone was mesmerized with the presentation and learned about AMIT from Dana Petrover. We look forward to many more NewGen Boca events under the stars or in the sunshine.
