Editing Big Apple Region

Big Apple Region covers 3 boroughs of New York City.  Since 1977(?), our region has been priding itself on our Judaic involvement and community service that we bring to our area.  It was formed from the joining of three regions: Queens Region, Brooklyn Region Association and part of Empire Region. Currently (2017) there are 5 BBG chapter and 5 AZA chapters.
