Afikra NYC August Soirée

We are kicking off the new afikra year with a fun social hour this weekend! So, grab some snacks and drinks, and come by this Sunday at the Brooklyn Bridge Park to connect with the afikra NYC community. This time we won't include any presentations, but we will briefly talk about what is in store for the upcoming year and talk about opportunities to present and get more involved. Mostly, it's just a fun get-together.
Come by and say hi!
