APPEAL FOR HURRICANE SANDY VICTIMS
 
Hurricane Sandy came ashore late Monday, October 29, 2012 as a Category 1 storm with winds of 90 mph, hitting the New York/New Jersey area. The entire east coast from North Carolina to Maine, has suffered a major blow. Thousands of homes, schools, hospitals, public libraries and businesses have suffered significant damages due to the raging waters. This is tragedy with losses estimated at above $25 billion.
FEZANA would like to help Zarathushti families, affected by this storm. Our relief efforts will be channeled through the local Anjumans in the New York/New Jersey area.

Interfaith Conference of Washington Metro Area (IFC) sponsors an InterFaith Concert

Fellow Zarathushtis:
Every year, the Interfaith Conference of Washington Metro Area (IFC) sponsors an InterFaith Concert, “A Celebration of the Sacred in Song, Dance and Chant”. It is a major fundraising event at which a prominent personality in the Washington DC area is honored.
What is heartwarming is to see that ZAMWI is vigorously participating in the concert this year.  Zoroastrian Association of Metropolitan Washington (ZAMWI) is a long-time member of IFC. I commend ZAMWI members for their effort to “Showcase Zarathushtis Around the World”, the most important goal of the FEZANA Strategic Plan.  Many years ago, ZAMWI members also sang a chorus of “Khon Ashem vohu”, and “Cyrus”. Iranian Zarathushtis do have a tradition of religious music and singing that the Parsis from India do not seem to have developed to the same extent. The Gujarati Monajats are almost forgotten.
Perhaps the new FEZANA Strategic Plan should include the development of Zarathushti music and hymns, preferably in English, as one of the near-term action items.
Usta te,
Rustom Kevala
