THE NEED FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AT ZAC
On Saturday, Nov. 9, ZAC will play host to a special and critically important meeting: Emergency Preparedness Training Program for Religious Organizations and Places of Worship.
We live in unpredictable times, now more than ever, and the entire board is united in our desire to educate internally and externally on exactly who we are as Zoroastrians, the storied legacy of our religion, and our participation on the interfaith front in standing against intolerance and extremism in all its forms.
ZAC is honored to host the event and to join forces with other local religious organizations. The US Department of Justice in collaboration with US Attorney’s office, FBI and Burr Ridge Police, will provide training on how to develop an Emergency Operations plan to handle, terrorism, gun violence and crimes against religious institutions; and improve partnerships between law enforcement and faith communities. Please take a moment to read through the in-depth background about this important event, and RSVP to Rohinton Rivetna if you are able to join us.
Hamāzor Hamā Ashō-bēd!
May we all be united in strength and righteousness!
October 5, 2019 marked a significant moment for the Zoroastrian Association of Metropolitan Chicago as the community came together to worship as one, at the first-ever Grand Jashan commemorating Behram Roj and the Arbab Guiv Baaj. ZAC is so thankful to Farida Sharyari for her grand idea and organization of this event! Thank you to Zinnia Elavia for helping with coordination of this event as well.
