We are sure you will see not only the happenings in the community in Florida but we wish to especially draw your attention to a section on the highlights of the latest happenings at the 16th North American Zarathushti Congress held earlier this month in N.Y. It is our attempt to bring you the latest happenings, trends, issues (such as the declining/increasing numbers, Zarathushti identity, age of Navjote, intermarriages, Iran, povertyetc.) and thinking on part of the community at-large in North America since most of you were not at the Congress. A few photos are also included to give you a glimpse of the proceedings and the entertainment. We wish you happy reading and all the best in the New Year.
Sincerely, Jahanbux Daruwala (President – ZAF Board)
