Please join the Jewish Lawyers Association of Miami-Dade County for an intimate and powerful conversation with Niv Emshalem, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, who will share his firsthand account of October 7th&mdash;what he experienced, how he survived, and the lasting impact of that day.
