April 2019 Newsletter

A Proud Moment for North American Zoroastrians, especially here in Chicago!

The North American Zarathushti community celebrated a milestone when the Zoroastrian Association of Houston unveiled North America’s first continuously-burning wood fire at the first-ever Atash Kadeh fire temple on the North American continent during Nowruz week last month.

The moment was extra special for the Chicago community as one of our own, Cyrus Rivetna, performed the architecture for the Atash Kadeh. Cyrus is renowned for his deep expertise and understanding of the history and architecture of Zarathusti fire temples across Iran and India.

We thank Cyrus for his work, dedication, passion, and selfless service to the global Zarathushti community.

Hamāzor Hamā Ashō-bēd!

May we all be united in strength and righteousness!

March 2019 Newsletter

Message from the Board of Directors

Dear Friends,

Greetings, and Nowruz Pirooz to our fellow Zarathushtis!

We always welcome March with open arms as it’s not only Nowruz month where we usher in the Spring season, it’s also one of the busiest ZAC months of the year.

Specifically, March brings an opportunity to participate in many ZAC events, including ZAC Clean-Up Day, The Persian Nowruz Celebration at the Oriental Institute, our annual Nowruz feast, the Hamas-path-maedem Ghambar, and the Shehenshahi Ava Mah Jashan.

We encourage you to participate in the way that best suits your needs. From volunteering at Clean-Up Day or by helping during the Fenwick High School and Rockford College visits, we depend on your involvement and participation.

As always, we remain eternally grateful each month to our event hosts for their time, leadership, financial support and cooking; as well as to our incredible priests for their commitment to keeping our flame burning bright.

Hamāzor Hamā Ashō-bēd!
May we all be united in strength and righteousness!

February 2019 Newsletter

Message from the Board of Directors

Dear Friends,

We hope you are staying warm and well as we endure truly historic and frigid winter weather! Extreme weather helps us to think beyond ourselves, and reminds us to care for our neighbors, the elderly, and those living alone who are more vulnerable.

Our recent Jan 27 monthly meeting featured ‘Tech Talk’ presentations by Tushad Driver and Jim Engineer. Tushad spotlighted ZAC’s new technology infrastructure and how you can benefit from it today simply by visiting www.zamc.org. Jim presented on best practices to achieve a safe online experience, showed us how to reduce our risk of being hacked, and reviewed ways to improve your online privacy.

We owe a huge THANK YOU to Bachi and Bomi Damkevala and Rohinton and Roshan Rivetna for the delicious food, and to Persis
Driver for organizing the event and watching over the children.

To learn more about our 2019 event lineup, check out pages 8 and 9 of our newsletter. We look forward to seeing you at ZAC soon!

Hamāzor Hamā Ashō-bēd!
May we all be united in strength and righteousness!
