You are, my son, the first of a new
generation in our history. You are
the first American grandchild of your
grandparents, who like millions of
other Jews before them, experienced
yet another mandatory exile- or
migration if you will- because of their
religious beliefs.
Remember! Your grand
parents are the inheritors of one of the
most ancient Jewish cultures in the history
of Diaspora. It is your responsibility
above all, to understand, respect,
and learn from their very rich culture.
You are, my son, uniquely qualified
to learn first hand about the history
of our ancestors and the strong ties,
and cumulative cultural and religious
principals that have safeguarded our
survival as an “International” nation
since time immemorial... cherish all of
this treasure my son, and pledge that
you too will in turn pass on to your
own children, both our Jewish and
Persian heritage.

Announcement
The Iranian American Jewish Federation Executive Board is honored to have become a
participant in the Birthright Israel Program.
The Birthright Program was established in 1999 by two thoughtful philanthropists. This
project is designed to make it possible for young Jews from all over the world to go on an
educational and entertaining tour of the great land of Israel for ten days, free of charge.
IAJF will be taking part in this project hoping to increase the involvement of our community’s
youth in their Jewish heritage and culture.
Yoel Neman, an active member of IAJF’s Board of Directors, and his brothers John and Leon
Neman have initiated the project and are hoping to have other members of the community
extend a helping hand in sponsoring of up to 40 Iranian Jewish youth for the upcoming
Birthright Israel trip.
Further details about this project, such as registration, application, and selection process will
be announced in the near future through the Iranian media.
IAJF would like to extend its sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Neman family for their
continued philanthropic endeavors and their unwavering support of
the Iranian American Jewish community.

Editorial
Freedom To Choose
By: Mojgan Moghadam Rahbar (Editor-in-Chief)
“
We who lived in concentration
camps can remember the men
who walked through the huts
comforting others, giving away
their last piece of bread. They
may have been few in number,
but they offer sufficient proof that
everything can be taken from a man
but one thing: the last of the human
freedoms -to choose one’s attitude
in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one’s own way.” These
are the words of Viktor E. Frankl,
written in his book titled Man’s
Search for Meaning. Frankl was an
Austrian-Jewish psychiatrist, who
spent three years of his life in two
different Nazi concentration camps,
and lost his wife and parents to the
gas chambers. “Man’s Search for
Meaning”, his first book and one
of all time bestsellers in the past
50 years, was written in the span
of nine days and was his way of
analyzing all the atrocities and
hardships endured by prisoners in
the concentration camps and their
reactions to this unfathomable
circumstance.
Frankl believed that apart
from those prisoners who were
handed a death sentence as soon
as they arrived to the camps,
(depending on one’s belief either
as a result of accident or destiny)
those who were taken as slaves to
labor camps died shortly after a
kind of surrender to their situation
mentally paralyzed them. The
physical strength and health of the
individual did not matter as much
their mental capacity to choose a
positive attitude about all that had
and was happening to them.
It seems as though
hopelessness and despair is the
consequence of forgetting that
“the last of human freedoms” is
being able to choose the way one
encounters any given situation, be
it happy or sad. Those who choose
to surrender to the hardships and
trials that life presents them with,
give up the chance of learning from
their experiences. When we choose
to own our experience, be it good or
bad, we will be able to draw from
that knowledge in order to grow as
a person and live life to its fullest.
Those individuals, who are aware
of this freedom of choice, are able
to enjoy the happy moments of life
to the fullest and endure the harsh
realities with a sense of equanimity.
Those who decide to hide or ignore
the traumas that life deals us, do
themselves the disservice of not
taking full advantage of a valuable
growing experience. Trying to hide
an unpleasant event from those
around us does not necessarily mean
that they do not know about it, and it
only results in deceiving ourselves,
carrying the burden of despair and
weariness on our shoulders, and not
taking advantage of the lesson that
it could have taught us.
In one of his last interviews
before his death in 1997, Frankl’s
response to the question of how he
felt about the fact that his book had
become a true bestseller and great
success was: “In the first place I
do not at all see in the bestseller
status of my book an achievement
and accomplishment on my part
but rather an expression of the
misery of our time: if hundreds of
thousands of people reach out for a
book whose very title promises to
deal with the question of a meaning
to life, it must be a question that
burns under their fingernails.”
It may well be that we
will decide to spend all of our life
searching and trying to find the
meaning of life and never succeed,
but one fact is undeniable- the way
and attitude we choose to adopt
throughout our life is our own
choice. We may not be a prisoner
who is physically restrained yet
we choose to live in our self built
prisons of mental anguish and
sorrows. How magnificent it would
be if we never lose sight of the fact
that whatever is taken from us, no
one can take away our “freedom to
choose.”

IAJF’s President’s Message:
The Treasured History Of
The Iranian American
Jewish Federation
The dust had not settled on the
Islamic Revolution of 1979,
when the ocean of bewildered, tired,
and emotionally injured Iranian
Jewish immigrants in US, founded
several charitable Persian Jewish
organizations in their new land. Our
mission: to assist our own.
The pride in our culture and
heritage, plus the love for humanity
and feeling of responsibility for
the well being of our community
as a whole empowered us to look
beyond our own personal needs. In
order to better serve the population
and unite all the different and much
needed organizations within the
community, The Iranian American
Jewish Federation was founded in
1981; with the task of uniting all
Iranian Jewish organizations as one
of its main goals. This was the birth of
a unique and enduring organization
that has shown the world that we are
ONE and committed to protecting
the rights of all Iranian Jews where
ever they maybe.
Bewildered by the fact that
no one ever shed a tear for their
plight, no resolutions were ever
passed in protecting them and no
actions were taken by UN about
their rights, our people united in
their beloved new country, the gate
to the freedom for the world, and
decided to speak with one strong
voice throughout the world. Their
strong message “we will never be
ignored again.”
In today’s social and political
world, we as members of the Iranian
American Jewish community are
facing many different crisis. We
feel connected to three different
countries and communities and take
pride in each of their culture and the
way that they have come to identify
us, yet the current tension between
Israel, Iran, and the United States
rests heavily on our shoulders. Our
community has faced a financial
meltdown that has affected us all.
The threat of substance abuse,
domestic violence, and unrealistic
social expectations continues to
put a lot of stress on the younger
generation. Therefore, IAJF has
expanded its services to face the
new challenges of our society.
As part of its many goals,
IAJF continues to provide services
such as assistance with immigration
process, Dispute Resolution and
mediation, Emergency Funds and
being the address and the voice of
our community
In the past two years IAJF
has started a major project with the
help of different experts in the fields
of psychology and sociology in order
to pinpoint and find reliable ways of
overcoming our communities many
different issues. We have sent out
over 5000 questionnaires asking
everyone to identify what they see
as prevalent problems within our
community. You can fill out this
questionnaire on line by going to
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/
T867DF7.
Taking into consideration
all that we have learned so far
about the needs of our community
has prompted us to come up with
different programs such as free
seminars and classes that would
help us understand, analyze and
try to resolve the issues facing our
population specially the younger
generation. Some examples of
these seminars are: The College
Advisement Night, where academic
experts gathered to advice our high
school students about different
ways of applying to colleges
and universities; Understanding
Addiction, a night with a panel of
experts talking about all the facts
surrounding this issue; as well as our
seminar discussing the facts about
the modern history of Israel and
teaching tolerance and knowledge
rather than spreading hatred.
IAJF is also collecting a
complete guide of all the available

social and economical services that
may help the Iranian community.
Each individual will be able to
get the needed information by
contacting the IAJF office.
IAJF’s Board of Trustees
is comprised of many prominent
leaders and individuals who have
been elected by our community,
plus the representatives of all our
affiliated organizations creating one
of the most powerful groups to serve
the needs of our community. We
have appointed a unique group of
young and energetic professionals
to lead our Executive Board.
The vision of all these
leaders and professionals, who
make up The Iranian American
Jewish Federation, is all about
knowing and serving you. IAJF is
your address and your voice! We
believe our young people are not
only our tomorrow, but our today
as well. We are proud of this most
highly educated, hardworking,
community oriented leaders of our
tomorrow, who will carry out our
traditions of family love, caring
for our community and our Jewish
heritage.
Our mission is to be there with you
and for you, and encourage you to
join us in taking responsibility and
becoming the future leaders of our
community.

LOS ANGELES PHILANTHROPIST
ESTABLSHES FOUNDATION TO COMMERCIALIZE
RESEARCH AT BEN-GURION UNIVERSITY
OF THE NEGEV
Los Angeles philanthropist,
A Dariush Fakheri, has created
an innovative foundation model
that will provide up to $1.2 million
to help fund and commercialize
research at Ben-Gurion University
of the Negev in Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Should the initial research
projects, selected by committee,
become successful, the proceeds
and royalties will revert back to the
foundation, dubbed “Project Jacob,”
to underwrite additional projects.
Dariush Fakheri, who is
president of the International Judea
Foundation (IJF) supplying the
funding, says that, “Israel’s future
and its economy are dependent on
continued successful innovation.
We are trying to fix the dilemma
of too many incredible innovations
and discoveries getting stuck in a
lab due to limited resources.”
Project Jacob is open to
other donors who want to contribute
to promising research that requires
additional financial support to get
it to a stage where patents can be
sold.
“Project Jacob” refers to
the biblical Jacob, who requested to
be paid in speckled goats and sheep
while working for his uncle, Laban.
Jacob, one of the earliest scientists,
initiated a selective breeding
program yielding a large flock --
and consequent prosperity.
“Project Jacob is a unique and
innovative example of channeling
philanthropy in support of research
on the verge of commercialization
that will help the University and
impact fields like medicine and
alternative energy,” explains Doron
Krakow, executive vice president of
American Associates, Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev. “It is a new
avenue through which any donor
can support the commercialization
of the most promising research at
BGU in a targeted way.”
International Judea
Foundation’s initial donation
will seed three projects chosen
by a BGU research committee to
receive funding. The organization
will provide additional funding
up to the $1.2 million based on
successful commercialization of
these projects.
Among the initial projects
chosen by the committee of BGU
research heads and Fahkeri for
Project Jacob are:
Retinal Angiography
System - Retinal blood flow
indicates many health issues,
including diabetes mellitus,
macular degeneration and vascular
occlusion. BGU researchers have
developed an image analysis tool
from a series of high-resolution
angiographic images that allows for
the quantification of blood flow and
vessels’ permeability to help make
diagnoses.
Balance Training System -
This robotic engineering project, a
treadmill-like device, simulates real
life mobility problems while walking
to help improve motion stability for
the elderly and disabled.
Venus Catheter - This
device has already been patented
but needs refinements to treat
thrombosis, or blood clots, which
affects 15 million people each year
who suffer from strokes.

MAGBIT FOUNDATION GALA 2010
A STAR-STUDDED
EVENING:
By: Claudia N. Mikail, MD, MPH*
Celebrating 62 years of Israeli
independence, the Magbit
Foundation held its 21st Annual
Gala on May 26, 2010 at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills,
CA. The yearly black tie event is
the foundation’s primary fundraiser,
supporting interest-free loans
and select scholarships for needy
undergraduate and graduate students
at some of Israel’s finest institutions,
including Sackler School
of Medicine, Technion, Tel Aviv
University, Haifa University, Bar
Ilan University, and more.
The program began with
moving renditions of the U.S. National
Anthem and the Hatikvah.
Dr. Behrooz Broukhim, orthopaedic
surgeon, was welcomed as the
organization’s new President. In his
introductory address, Dr. Broukhim
emphasized the organization’s
unwavering dedication to higher
education and described Magbit as
the “mother of all charities,” citing
knowledge as the underlying key
to success for any community and
for Israel.
Mr. Parviz Nazarian was
greeted as the new Chairman of the
Board, and Mr. Nourollah Gabbay
as the new Chairman of the Board
of Trustees. The outgoing President,
Mr. Bijan Nahai, and Chairman of
the Board, Mayor Jimmy Delshad,
were duly thanked for their efforts
during their term. Prominent, longtime
donors were also recognized,
and new board member, Mr. Sal
Gabbay, shared his thoughts on the
importance of Magbit’s mission.
Guests were treated to cocktails
and h’or d’oeuvres, glatt kosher
dinner, and star-studded entertainment
by world-renowned Sephardic
singer Alabina and the Gypsy
Kings, who brought the audience to
their feet. To conclude the festivities,
the Master of Ceremonies, Mr.
Doran Adhami (Magbit Treasurer),
invited students and young professionals
to an after party featuring
DJ David, keeping everyone dancing
late into the night. One young
attendee exuberantly noted, “This
is the ballroom where they hold the
Golden Globes, right? This is like
the Jewish version!”
Since its inception, the
Magbit Foundation has supported
over 10,000 students in both Israel
and the U.S., and seeks to continue
its expansion. Specialized offshoots
of the foundation include the Magbit
Golda Group (for women) and
the Young Leadership of Magbit.

lives in Los Angeles, CA with her
husband, Farzin Rahbar and their
three children Sabba, Daniel and
Navah. Below is a summary of her
acceptance speech upon receiving
the Shamsi Hekmat Award:
For the past 15 years, as a sign of
their commitment to recognizing
the value of women’s efforts in our
community, the members of the
Iranian Jewish Women’s Organization
have honored different individuals
as women of the year. In my opinion,
as nominee this year, I stand
for all of you: many of the ladies
present here at this event, as well as
those members of our community
who could not be here today, share
this honor with me. The success
of Iranian Jews in Los Angeles is
a testament to your hard work as
mothers and daughters, doctors,
academics and professionals. My
true honor lies in representing
Iranian Women, courageous individuals
who have helped our
community overcome racial, gender
and class barriers.
The Iranian woman of the
previous generation, who was
uprooted from her own country,
and placed in a strange land with a
foreign language and culture; and
found her parents, children and
husband in unbearable financial
and social situations; was obligated
to work outside of the home without
any prior training, shoulder to
shoulder with her husband, in order
to insure the security of her family;
had to take care of her elderly parents,
even though she herself was
trying to get use to a new way of
life; the woman who - despite all adversity
- insured the success of her
children, the comfort of her parents,
the happiness of her spouse, and
even managed to find time to serve

the community at large as a volunteer
in social and charitable groups.
I congratulate you and stand here to
honor you, my mothers.
And of course my sisters:
the many women of my own generation
who have had the unenviable
task of balancing two astonishingly
different social and educational
cultures, within their family and
community. These were the daughters
who were expected to finish their
higher education, marry and have
children at the proper age, be active
members of their community, work
outside the house
and manage the
family life within,
raise children who
will be accepted
within both the
American as well as
the Iranian cultural
spheres we inhabit.
I congratulate you:
in spite of the
culture shock of
Revolution and
adaptations we were forced to
undergo as adolescents, look at all
that we’ve accomplished.
The Iranian ladies of these
two generations are pioneers within
their communities: they have
successfully managed to practice
progressive feminism even while
retaining the many positive values
of our traditions. I would like to
thank the ladies of IAJO for honoring
the women of our community
each year at this brilliant event. And
I look forward to the years when
our daughters will stand here and be
recognized for their achievements.
In order to grow intellectually and
spiritually, women need role models,
mentors, and heroes who inspire
us and help us believe in ourselves
while retaining our creative impulses.
Since we are honoring the women
of our community, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank the
women who have shaped and continue
to influence my life – my female
role models - with an apology
to the influential gentlemen who
mean so much to me as well. Which
include my father and brothers, my
son Danny, and my dear Farzin
whose love, encouragement, and
strength has defined me in so many
ways.
Those amazing females
who have truly influenced and con-
tinue to influence my life include
my sister Mastaneh and my daughters
Sabba and Navah, but my lifelong
teacher is of course my dear mother
Afsar Moghadam.
The other magnificent and
unique lady, who was a role model
for me many years before I even had
the pleasure and honor of meeting
her in person, is Mrs. Pari Abasalti,
editor of Rah-e-Zendegi magazine.
I would like to end with one
of my daughter Sabba’s favorite
quotes from William Shakespeare.
He writes: “All the world is a stage,
and all the men and women merely
players, they have their exits and
their entrances; and each person in
his time plays many parts…” I do
believe that we are given a role to
play for each stage in our life. When
it comes time to move on, it can be
hard getting used to the challenge of
learning a new part, which at times
may be comedic, tragic or absurd.
But as long as we do understand
that the most important part of
this theatrical journey called life is
contentment, kindness, and having
respect and tolerance for others
around us, we will be more comfortable
in our own role and will seamlessly
transition among our endless
improvisations before finally taking
a bow and making our exit.
Just consider for a moment
a part of my
theatrical journey.
Less than
four years ago,
while awaiting
an eye operation,
a doctor
told me that if
my cancer had
metastasized into
my liver, then
all hope was
lost. This year, I
am standing here as your representative
for the woman of the year! The
collective strength of this community,
the men and women who are my
friends, family, role models and
colleagues, have given me the power
to overcome enormous obstacles,
as they will others. Thank you; I
am honored to have been chosen
to represent all the women of my
community.
Azadeh Farin- Wald MD is
one of the fewer than 200 female
neurosurgeons in US.
Many of us may not associate
women with brain surgery. Yet,
reading Dr. Farin Wald’s biography
and seeing her accept the award; one
was struck with how she contradicted
the dichotomy of a female
11
166

166
12
neurosurgeon and still maintained
her femininity and grace.
Azadeh Farin was born in
Iran and moved to Los Angeles at
a young age. Becoming a neurosurgeon
stemmed from her curiosity
as a child. As she described in a
recent interview, “I realized at a
young age that everything emanated
from the human brain. It explained
why things are the way they are.”
This passion and curiosity fueled
her education, and she successfully
graduated top of her class from
Hamilton High School. She went
on to complete Yale University
with honors in three years, double
majoring in Molecular Biophysics
and Biochemistry and Economics.
Upon graduation, she worked as
a business analyst at McKinsey &
Co., one of the most well-known
consulting firms in the country. She
once again excelled and was ranked
in the top 5% of her analyst class.
While taking a break from her studies;
Dr. Farin, even entered beauty
pageants and was named Miss
Greater Los Angeles USA Pageant
Winner in 1998.
Three years later, Dr. Farin entered
the University of California,
San Diego medical school to pursue
her childhood calling and dream of
becoming a neurosurgeon. “[Neurosurgery]
was a big black box that
I was eager to figure out. Almost
every other organ in the human
body can be replaced and yet we
barely know the brain works.” As
to why she chose the arduous profession
that is neurosurgery, she
explained how many people study
the brain, but only neurosurgeons
can dissect the brain, cure the patient
of the disease and bring them
back to life. During medical school,
she researched at Columbia University
where her group was the first to
videotape tumor cells invading a
live brain and applied this technique
to medicinal implications. She went
on to complete her fellowships at
Olympia Medical Center and Tower
Neurosurgical Spine Institute and
University of California, San Francisco,
and completed her residency
at the University of Southern California.
Today, she practices in Long
Beach, CA at the second largest
private hospital west of the Mississippi.
She operates on all aspects of
cranial surgery including aneurisms,
tumors, head traumas, spinal deformities,
and degenerative disease using
minimally invasive techniques. She
has published over 50 journals in
some of the most prestigious and
respected publications.
Dr. Farin describes success
as taking the time and energy to
define a worthwhile goal and pursuing
it to completion. “In some ways,
I have achieved some success but it
is not enough. For myself, success
includes continuing to help thousands
of patients, being a wife and hopefully
soon a mother. Success is going
above and beyond.” Her advice to
young Iranian- Jewish women, who
want to pursue competitive fields
such as medicine, is: “do something
that no matter how much time and
energy you put into it, is gratifying.
Find your passions and pursue them
whole heartedly. Don’t pay attention
to barriers, but know that everything
has a cost and be realistic.
The cost must be worth it.”
As an Iranian- Jewish female
hoping to enter the medical field,
one is often questioned for her career
choice and the sacrifices that
it may involve. When speaking to
Dr. Farin, she addressed this issue
saying “Persian women have much
more to offer than just good looks.”
Dr. Farin is a prime example of
how women have the potential to
be successful professionals as well
as loving wives.

Vitreous Visions From Judaica
A collection of glass arts about the Jewish Heritage
By: Siena Casale*
glass sculpture by Dr. Habib
A Nathan adorns the cover of
Shofar for this issue. Dr. Nathan is
a practicing psychiatrist living in
San Antonio, Texas, with his wife
Manijeh. In the past decade Dr.
Nathan has been
able to give life
to his “visions”
through art and
glass sculpture.
A book about
his art work and
glass sculptures
was published
in July 2010,
which shows
Dr. Nathan’s
passion of
trying to commemorate the history
and traditions of people of Israel
through art. His Glass Sculpture Coin
Collection beautifully remembers
this history of Israel and its people.
This remarkable collection of coins
has been on display since February
3, 2000 in the Jewish Federation
Building in San Antonio, Texas.
In an exclusive interview
with Shofar Dr. Nathan explained
about his motivation and love for
art and the glass art in particular.
What inspired you to create this
exhibit of coin glass sculptures?
I had decided to make an exhibit out
of glass to attract young people to
look at history and be proud of their
Jewish heritage.
How did you become interested in
creating glass sculptures?
I started taking
a course on
stain glass and
after I perfected
the art of stain
glass, I moved
to creating glass
sculptures.
All the works in
this Collection
have a vibrant
color, how
did you bring out the clarity and
brilliance of the glass?
Each coin is made of translucent
glass of different hues and each is
about a foot in diameter and nearly
an inch thick. The coins have been
installed in the exhibit with back
illumination to display the clarity
and brilliance of the glass.
There are twelve coins in your
Collection and each coin is a large
scale recreation of coins used
throughout the Judaic history;
what research did you do to find
and select these twelve coins?
I had gone to the Israel Museum
in Jerusalem and I spend time in
the section on Jewish history and
Judaic coins. I became interested in
the history of the Jewish coins and
continued my research by reading
a number of books when I returned
from my trip to Israel. Each of
the twelve coins in my Collection
represents a different era in Jewish life.
Who did you dedicate this exhibit
to and why?
I dedicated my entire Exhibit to
Jewish heroes and people who had
died and fought for their belief in
Judaism. It is their sacrifice that
made possible the continuation of
the Jewish religion and homeland.
Would you tell us more about the
coin called “The Persian Rule,”
and how it relates to Iranian
Jewry?
Two thousand five hundred years
ago, Persia was a large empire. The
king would conquer different lands
and rule from a distance. The Empire
would print coins in different parts
of the world that were conquered
by the king. The coin I called the
“Persian Rule,” was made in Judea
for use by the people who lived
in Judea.
Was the coin titled “The
Holocaust,” actually used by Jews
in the Ghetto?
Yes, when the Jews were brought to
the Ghetto by the Nazis, they were
forced to trade in their money for
coins. Unfortunately, these coins
did not have any real value.

30 Years After:
“We have unpacked our bags.
We are ready to act.”
By: Nicole Behnam*
“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not
enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.”
Russell Taylor

(Shofar news correspondent), Kayvan Mottahedeh and Jennifer Shirazi (conference attendees)
Have you ever asked yourself
if you are truly politically
inclined? Have you ever read or
heard about an issue you wanted to
know more about, but did not know
where to seek more information?
Have you wanted to make a
difference but simply could not
figure out how to get involved in
the exertion of our city’s policies?
On October 10 more than 1,300
people—young professionals,
students, parents, and even
grandparents—attended the second
biennial 30 Years After conference,
where these questions, along with
several others, were answered by
some of the greatest thinkers and
leaders in our community.
There were nine different
breakout sessions between the
morning, afternoon, and evening
plenary sessions. Topics that were
discussed included the future of the
Jewish community, local and state
politics, philanthropy and activism,
and foreign affairs related to Iran
and Israel. In addition, there was a
voter registration table, along with
30 exhibitor booths from leading
Jewish and civic organizations.
“Per capita, we are
arguably the most driven and
successful minority in the greater
LA area, if not in the state,” said
Dr. Ebbie Soroudi, a supporter of
30 Years After. “We are among
some of the most influential group
of professionals, intellectuals, and
business minds. It is unfortunate we
have not been more involved with
politics thus far.”
When Rabbi Wolpe of
Sinai Temple spoke, he urged
the people sitting in the Century
Plaza ballroom to begin living
for themselves and stop worrying
about everyone else’s perception
of them. He went on to dissect a
rampant notion he believed many
Persian Jews uphold. The notion
that we are so gifted and that “[we]
have succeeded beyond the dreams
of any immigrant community that
has ever come to this country.” And
that is all true said Wolpe, who also
noted the economic “fertility” of the
United States 30+ years prior.
“The opposite is also true,”
said Wolpe. “There is a deep sense
of being discriminated against,
unappreciated—that people don’t
realize what the Persian community
is, and people condemn it from
outside without understanding it.”
In other words, with the tremendous
pride comes tremendous insecurity.
“You need not feel either,” said
Wolpe. “Your accomplishments
speak for themselves, and the
inflation of self that sometimes
masks insecurity is no longer
necessary. The question is not: how
[does] the world regard you? The
question is: what will you do with
what you have done?”
Carly Fiorina, former
Republican candidate for the United

States Senate
emphasized the
necessity of
declaring that
Israel is our most
important friend
in the middle east
and that we will
stand with her no
matter what. “We
must be clear
and loud and
u n e q u i v o c a l , ”
said Fiorina, who
also spoke about
the importance
of standing up for
the people in Iran
who are risking
their lives for
human rights.
“We are proud that we
helped further the U.S.-Israel
relationship by empowering our
community to become more
effective Israel advocates,” said Sam
Yebri, President and co-Founder of
30 Years After.
Meg Whitman, former
Republican candidate for governor
of California, also shined light on
the contributions Israel has made to
technological progress. Dan Senor,
author of “Start-Up Nation” alluded
to Meg Whitman mentioning that
Israeli startups, Israeli innovations,
Israeli engineers, and Israeli
entrepreneurs helped transform the
eBay while she was CEO of the
company. In fact, this turned Senor
on to a story that was the centerpiece
of his book.
The conference, themed
“Now is our time: to learn, to act, to
lead,” certainly did more than fulfill
its purpose.
The feedback from the
conference has been consistently
positive. “The most meaningful
feedback comes from those who are
excited to vote for the first time,”
said Yebri. “Those who find a new
community organization that they
want to support, or those who thank
us for focusing our community on
doing good for others, not just well
financially for ourselves.”
30 Years After was
established in 2008 with the initial
purpose of engaging a community of
new Americans to become involved
in civic activities, community, and
public service.
Since 2008, 30 Years After
has increased their media exposure,
including publicity through
television coverage on local evening
news and international media in
Europe and the Middle East. And
although there were union strikes
and protests outside of the Century
Plaza hotel that morning, the
conference was no exception to this
exposure.
Yebri believes that the
success of the conference reflected
two things: “that Iranian-American
Jews have
unpacked their
bags and are
eager to make a
difference locally
and nationally,
and that political
leaders are noticing
the growing voice
and power of
this influential
community.”
Without a doubt,
this group’s
vision has been
actualized; their
goals have been
fulfilled, their
voices heard.

Winners Of David And Dina
Ramzi Memorial Fund And
Shofar Magazine Writing Contest
By: Nazanin Ramzi Shamtobi
My late father, Davoud (David)
Ramzi, was a poet and writer
who dedicated much of his life
to the pursuit of knowledge and
growth through literature.
It is in my parents’ memory
that “The David and Dina Ramzi
Writing Contest” was established,
to acknowledge and support the
innate talent and passion of those
who celebrate life through the
written word.
Davoud Ramzi was the
author of six books, three of which
were published in Los Angeles. The
story goes that when my parents
first met, my mother was so moved
by my father’s passion for poetry
that she published his first book of
poems called “Jedal” in 1964. This
love affair with words and poems
continued for both of them for the
rest of their lives.
As Iranian Jews, we have
the unique privilege of being the
recipients and treasure-keepers of
our rich Jewish stories and books
of philosophy and life as well as the
incomparable writings of classical
Persian poets like Ferdowsi, Hafez
and Rumi and countless modern
Iranian writers and poets who
continue to express the wonder
and angst of their era through the
written word. It is my sincere desire
that through contests like this, the
young and creative members of our
community will be encouraged to
express themselves through writing
I am delighted to present
this year’s contest winners, Shahram
Barkhordar and Dalit Yadegaran.
When I met Dalit, she told me that
winning this contest has prompted
her to rethink what she wants to
study in the future. She said that
now more than even before she
realizes how much she loves to
write and is considering majoring in
English literature at UCLA.
What I wish for Dalit and
Shahram, as well as all the other
wonderful writers who submitted
their poems and stories for this
contest, is that they always find
and hold a place for writing in their
lives.
I am grateful to my dear
friend, Mojgan Rahbar, and the
Iranian-American Jewish Federation
for giving me the opportunity to use
Shofar as a forum to display the
works of our talented winners.
Judging Panel:

Dalit Yadegaran
recently graduated from Santa
Monica High School and has been

“What influences you to wake
up each morning?”
How should I respond to the
above question when asked by
my interviewer to a prestigious
Ivy League university?
No, I can’t say my alarm clock. Too
simple.
My responsibility and determination
to strive for the top of my class at
school? Too cliché.
My parents who nudge me around at
6:50 every morning? Too common.

My passion. Yes, that feels perfect.
It fits just right; as if I’ve found my
perfect prom dress.

We fall again, and we’ll keep getting

Who are we? The people, the
mothers, the fathers, the sons and

Into the night’s darkness we set out,
and through the day we seek our
way.
And who am I, you might ask?
Well…I am you.
And I hear this beating, this ancestral
drumming, coming to meet me, from
long forgotten dreams and myths.
They hunt and pursue me.
But do not be afraid, Here I Am.
Let me start.
In the beginning, the earth was
indifferent and dark, a bottomless
frost covered the depths.
And it was spoken, a shatter, a
spark, a crackling of light.
And we began to run. To search,

to yearn, to crave, to know, to lust,
to toil, and to understand what we
were and how we got here.
A germ, a seed, a beginning to an
end, forced into oblivion and back
again.
Now grasp yourself. Understand
your power. Recognize your

Perpetual motion is nothing but
change. At each stop, at each glance,
at each thought, we have gathered

Nothing stays the same forever.
And yet we are just that, at once
nothing and forever.
Being is non-being realized.
So clench your teeth, outstretch your
mighty hand, look up, eyes taunting
the imposing sky, and believe.
You are the master of worlds,
contracting into the center of being
and expanding like rings of fire.
The Phoenix rising in the West will
send forth her wings blazing in the
East.
Do not be afraid. HERE I AM.

L.A. Youth Orchestra has
moved to Beverly Hills
By: Shirin Raban (Member of L.A.Y.O. Board of Directors)
The Los Angeles Youth Orchestra has moved to Beverly Hills,
and the beautiful Saban Theatre is our new home - a magnificent
place for our awe-inspiring music.
The Los Angeles Youth Orchestra
is an Emeritus Youth Orchestra
Partner of the LA Philharmonic
and represents over 60 LA area
schools. There are two levels of
orchestra: the Concert Orchestra is
for younger players with at least two
years of playing experience and the
Chamber Orchestra is for the more
advanced students. The Orchestra
also offers the opportunity to play
in chamber groups at community
events and salons.
LAYO was established by
Artistic Director, Russell Steinberg
in 2000 at Milken Community High
School of the Stephen S. Wise
Temple. Dr. Steinberg is a composer,
lecturer and educator who received
a Ph.D. in music composition from
Harvard University. He studied
composition most notably with
Leon Kirchner, Arthur Berger,
Elaine Barkin, and Kenneth Klauss.
His music for concert and film has
been performed extensively in the
United States and abroad.
In its short existence of
only 10 years the Los Angeles
Youth Orchestra has become a
musical voice that embraces the
entire community. Acclaimed
performances at Walt Disney
Concert Hall and the Colburn
School have established this
ensemble as one of L.A.’s finest
youth orchestras. The orchestra has
been featured on CBS TV News
affiliate KCAL CHANNEL 9, as
well as the Los Angeles Times, the
Beverly Hills Courier and several
other news publications. Several
of the Orchestra’s alumni students
are continuing their studies at the
Julliard School of Music, Cornell
University, the Berklee College of
Music, and UCLA.
Students study established
masterworks, but also have the
exciting opportunity to premiere
new music. Rehearsals include
work as a full orchestra as well as
sectional practices with professional
coaches. Additionally the orchestra
offers a variety of unique enrichment
experiences such as working with
guest artists and mentoring with
major orchestras. Students aged 8
to 18 with two years of instrumental
instruction may audition.
Recently, the orchestra
has become independent and as a
nonprofit institute needs to raise
funds to operate and to assist
deserving children with orchestra
tuition support. Donors are welcome
to attend rehearsals and meet the
children, attend concerts, and
participate in private music salons.
The contributions of individual
donors are what enable the orchestra
to survive and continue to create the
musicians of tomorrow.
Los Angeles Youth Orchestra
programs are performed twice a
year in November and in April.
This Fall of 2010, concerts are held
in November at the Saban Theatre
in Beverly Hills and Zipper Concert
Hall at the Colburn School in Los
Angeles. The program features a
special performance of the Daniel
Pearl commission Stories From My
Favorite Planet by Russell Steinberg
with guest soloist Mitchell Newman
of the Los Angeles Philharmonic
and guest narrator Theodore Bikel,
star of stage, film, and television.
Auditions for the spring semester
will be held on January 8 and
9, 2011. For more information

What’s the Fuss About
Clean Tech?
By: Richard Bookbinder and Bobby Shamsian*
“A new “green wave” is spreading, and many of us are looking for
ways to understand what is taking place.”
As we’ve learned over a long
time, history is a wonderful
guide. There has always been an
event or series of events that have
lead to new policies.
Look at four dates in history:
•May 4, 1904:Construction began
on the Panama Canal.
•May 6, 1954: Construction began
on the U.S. Interstate Highway System.
•May 25, 1962:An ambitious effort
began to place a man on the Moon
by the end of the decade.
Each of these events
addressed a concern for national
security. The Panama Canal was
necessary to move Navy ships from
the East Coast to the West quickly.
The Highway System was essential
in moving troops across the country
swiftly in the event of a military
attack. Finally, placing a man on
the Moon was our way of taking the
lead in the “space race.”
The fourth date is July 11,
2008 and should still be fresh in the
mind of all consumers: crude oil
traded at an all time high of $147
per barrel.
Remember the Presidential
campaign season of 2008?
Remember “Drill, baby, drill?”
The recent massive oil spill and
resulting destruction in the Gulf
of Mexico has certainly thrust a
monkey wrench into offshore oil
exploration.
But, what has happened
since July of 2008? And, why
should we be paying attention to
this debate?
While scientists have
debated the issue of global warming
and climate change for years, the
record spike in oil prices provided
new impetus to develop alternative
methods of cleaner energy sources
for power: wind, solar, geothermal,
and biomass just to mention a few.
So where are we today?
•World populations are growing and
putting strains on global economies
and resources.
•CO2 emissions are increasing and
many parts of the world are ahead
of the United States in efforts to
reduce the pollutants.
•There is a growing awareness of
global warming, and it is being led
by corporate leaders. And, if you
have school age children, just try to
discard the plastic bottle. See what
they tell Mom and Dad! Colleges are
also on the forefront of the effort by
offering programs in environmental
science.
•Global economic stimulus
programs have pumped nearly
$500 billion into new methods of
renewable and clean energy.
•The BP spill is highlighting the
need for cleaner sources of energy.
This new “green wave”
is spreading, and many of us are
looking for ways to understand
what is taking place.
The most recent
development on the green wave is
Senators Kerry and Lieberman’s
comprehensive plan for a national
energy policy. In the corporate
arena, energy producers like Duke
Power and PG&E are diversifying
investments in renewable energy,
energy efficiency and smart grid
transmission. Nike and Apple
are incorporating sustainability
into their business models. Even
pension giants CalPERS and the
New York State Retirement System
are adopting standards for their
investment managers to incorporate
sustainability and renewable energy
investments in their portfolios. With
new renewable portfolio emission
limit standards being implemented
by over thirty states, Washington is
finally stepping in line.
The developing opportunities
in clean tech are taking place all over
the world. European institutional
investors have been investing in
these asset classes for years. China
is emerging as a major leader with
its installations of solar and wind
energy, and much of Asia is building
new manufacturing facilities that
21
166

166
22
utilize clean energy sources.
Let’s look at a few sectors,
and consider the power grid. To
replace and upgrade an aging 50
year-old electric transmission
system is estimated to cost nearly
$25 billion per year for the next 20
years; that’s half a trillion dollars!
For anyone in the Northeast who
remembers the blackout from 2003,
this is no laughing matter. But, soon
enough, there will be wind turbines
offshore Cape Cod producing clean
power.
The same holds true
for water. The management
consulting firm, McKinsey and
Co., recently estimated that, “By
2030, under an average economic
growth scenario…global water
requirements would grow…a full
40% above current accessible.”
Much of the new technology can
be described as “low tech” and has
been developed by necessity. Israel
developed the modern efficient
technology of drip irrigation on
a Kibbutz in 1959, and exported
the process to other parts of the
world. U.S. farmers are migrating
to new methods to achieve water
conversation.
Scientists, historians, and
economists share one commonality:
they are all great at interpreting past
history. But as history has taught us,
it’s important to maintain focus on
the future by looking at today. Two
facts are clear: natural resources
are being depleted and have been
seriously damaged in the Gulf.
Companies that have solutions
are likely to be at the center of the
change. It’s time to move to the next
step.

Study Finds Genetic Links
Among Jewish People
Thanks in large part to a
generous gift from the Iranian
American Jewish Federation of
NY to the Albert Einstein College
of Medicine, geneticists at Einstein
and NYU School of Medicine have
created the first comprehensive
genetic map of major Jewish
populations. This historic finding
indicates that Jews from different
regions of the world share genetic
traits that date back over 2,500
years. The Jewish HapMap Project
published in the American Journal of
Human Genetics and subsequently
covered in major media outlets
worldwide, demonstrated that Jews
are genetically linked to a common
Middle Eastern ancestry dating
back approximately 2,500 years.
This discovery opens a new door
for medical research.
“By providing a
comprehensive genetic fingerprint
of various Jewish subpopulations, it
can help us understand genetic links
to heart disease, cancer, diabetes
and other common diseases,” said
co-author Edward Burns, M.D.,
Executive Dean and Professor
of Pathology and Medicine at
Einstein.
“The study supports the
idea of a Jewish people linked by
a shared genetic history,” said Dr.
Harry Ostrer of NYU. “Yet the
admixture with European people
explains why so many European
and Syrian Jews have blue eyes and
blond hair.”
“The goal of the study was
to determine a genomic baseline,”
said lead author Gil Atzmon, Ph.D.,
Assistant Professor of Medicine
and Genetics at Einstein. “With this
established, we’ll be able to more
easily identify genes associated with
complex disorders like diabetes that
are determined by multiple variants
across the genome. Armed with
this information, we will be better
positioned to treat patients.”
Published as “Abraham’s
Children in the Genome Era:
Major Jewish Diaspora Populations
Comprise Distinct Genetic Clusters
with Shared Middle Eastern
Ancestry,” the study has generated
a great deal of excitement in the
major media and Jewish press.

Funding for the Jewish
HapMap was made possible by the
IAJF and other concerned members
of the Jewish community. Your
continued support is vital to helping
Einstein and NYU continue this
research. For more information,

Team Talia
By: Hayley Tizabi*
“As the parents of a child with Type I Diabetes, we were initially
overwhelmed by the diagnosis. The fact is that as many as 3 million
Americans are born with, Type One diabetes, a disease most often
diagnosed in childhood that strikes suddenly, lasts a lifetime, and
carries the constant threat of long-term complications.”
In 2005, at age 3, our daughter
Talia was diagnosed with
Juvenile, or Type 1 Diabetes. Within
days, she became subject to a still
ongoing pattern of finger pricks,
insulin injections and an entirely
new approach to eating. At the
same time, my husband and I were
quickly forced to become experts in
each of these fields.
As the parents of a child with
Type I Diabetes, we were initially
overwhelmed by the diagnosis.
Aside from requiring significant
changes that affect Talia, there is
constant concern over what Talia’s
blood sugar levels are in the middle
of night and at school/camp, where
we can’t always be there to keep
watch. After an initial period of
adjustment, we proactively decided
to keep our approach a positive one
by looking for the good in all this and
more importantly, by never letting
diabetes define Talia. For example,
our family of five now takes a much
healthier approach to eating and at
7 years old, Talia demonstrates her
maturity by making healthy choices
and by showing her teachers how
she tests her blood sugar by herself.
It is extremely important
for us to demonstrate to Talia that
she, as well as the millions of Type
I diabetics are well supported in
their fight to find a cure. Perhaps
the most consistent example of this
is our family’s annual participation
in the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation (JDRF) Walk to Cure
Diabetes. The JDRF’s mission
is to find a cure for diabetes and
its complications by supporting
research that has made significant
strides in just the past few years.
The fact is that as many as
3 million Americans are born with
Type 1 diabetes, a disease most
often diagnosed in childhood that
strikes suddenly, lasts a lifetime,
and carries the constant threat of
long-term complications including
heart disease, stroke, blindness,
kidney failure, and even sometimes
amputation.
The Walk draws people
together for a healthy activity for a
worthy cause. Taking place each year
on the grounds of Dodgers Stadium
(this year on 11/7 at 10am), The Walk
is a good time for families, friends,
companies and their employees.
Above all, it’s an event people that
people feel good about supporting
simply by being there.
Over the past few years, we
have been blessed by our friends and
family who make up the core of our
team, TEAM TALIA. Together, we
have raised more than $10,000 to
support diabetes research. Far more
important than the dollar amount
raised is the support and comfort
we have received from the sheer
number of participants in the Walk
itself. As Talia grows older, she is
increasingly aware of the support
she has and that makes dealing with
diabetes far more tolerable.
Talia never fails to warm
our hearts. One day, while driving
to school I looked in my rear view
mirror and she was deep in thought.
She asked me “Mommy, do dreams
ever come true”. “Of course they
do” I said “What is your dream,
Talia?” Silence. “I dream that one
day when I grow up I will be an
artist ... or a gymnast ...or a teacher
..... or a Mommy like you... and that
I won’t have diabetes anymore!”
I have no idea what
wondrous dream Talia will have
next. Her mind never stops and
neither does her loving heart.
Whatever she decides upon,
knowing our daughter, it will be big
and powerful and touch upon the
lives of others.

Adult Children And
Their Parents
By: Mastaneh Moghadam, LCSW*
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide
forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
~Elizabeth Stone
Every single one of us is a
product of Parents. Parents,
who have at the very least, given us
life, fed us, clothed and sheltered us.
Hopefully, they have also nurtured
us, educated us, protected us, taught
us right from wrong, sat up with us
when we were sick, laughed with
us, cried with us, and have done
their best to love and support us.
So, now that we are older…what
are we to do with them? Do we
thank them and bid them farewell?
Do we show our appreciation by
living our lives the way they want
us to? Do we listen to them or run
from them? Become their friends or
their enemies?
Ideally, the hope is that
every child has been raised in a
healthy family environment with a
great deal of love and balance. The
parents in this family have given their
children equal amounts of attention,
freedom to express emotions,
age appropriate responsibilities,
and respect. They have modeled
appropriate boundaries and have
earned their children’s trust by
offering them a sense of security
and consistency. The parents
have allowed their children to
experience life by making their
own decisions, their own mistakes,
and allowing them the freedom
to be the individuals that they can
be. And having experienced such
a solid childhood, ideally as adults,
our relationships with our parents
include mutual love, respect, trust,
and appreciation. We accept them
as individuals with their own
opinions and imperfections, goals,
and values and in return, they do
the same for us. They listen to our
ideas without judgment, they share
their wisdom without enforcing
their beliefs upon us, they value
the people that we are and support
our decisions, weather they agree
with it or not. We look forward to
calling them, speaking with them,
sharing new experiences with them
and reminiscing through old times.
They have become our friends, our
confidants, and our biggest fans…
and we all live happily ever after…
does this sound like a fairy tale to
you? Is this (or at least something
almost like this) your reality?
For many of us our
childhoods were filled with
imbalance and (at times) chaos.
We may have grown up with
parents whose own personal
weaknesses and personality flaws
lead to family structures where noncommunication
and secrecy were the
norm; anger and judgment ruled the
house. Where power structures were
unequal, rules and expectations were
inconsistent, and respect was nonexistent.
Where love and attention
was a commodity that was hard to
come by and interdependency was
encouraged. And now, as adults,
our relationships with our parents
seem to be filled with feelings of
resentment and anger, sprinkled
with guilt. We find ourselves in a
cycle of power struggles, and fights
over control. We may find ourselves
constantly looking to our parents to
be saved or to save them, neither of
which feels satisfying nor makes
us happy. We may decide to “give
in” and just do as they say and in
essence become a martyr to their
needs. Or, at the other extreme,
make sure to do everything the
opposite of what they want, often
destroying ourselves just to see
them suffer. Does this sound like
anyone’s reality?
Perhaps, for most of us, the
reality of our relationship with our
parents lies somewhere in between
these two scenarios. However, if
you find yourself drawing parallels
to the later more than to the former,
you may be wondering what has
lead you there. Well…you’re
Iranian. No, no – while that is not
entirely the reason why, we do have
to take a minute and look at our
culture of origin.
The Iranian Culture’s
values and norms are historically
more oriented towards the
concept of collectivism rather
than individualism. Collectivism

encourages compliance, conformity,
and cooperation for the greater
good of the whole group. The
American culture stresses the idea
of autonomy for the individual,
self-assertion, nonconformity and
healthy competition. Iranians in
general value discreteness and
secrecy, particularly regarding
personal matters due to the notion
of “Aberoo” or saving face and
the importance of keeping a good
“reputation” in front of others,
versus Western cultures that tend to
value expression of feelings.
So here we are some thirty
years into our collective migration
from a culture that stressed to our
grand-parents and our parents this
“Collectivism” approach to child
rearing – yet we go to school and
socialize with teachers, neighbors,
friends, and mentors that interact
with us based on the “Individualism”
approach to child rearing. Yet we
all sit and wonder why we have
difficulty communicating with our
parents.
Of course, every child from
every culture (immigrant and nonimmigrant)
feels a certain level of
disconnect from his/her parents,
that’s normal and to be expected.
With us Iranians, however, the past
30 years feels more like a 90-year
stretch when it comes to the shift in
culture and values from our parent’s
generation to our own.
In many immigrant
communities – and certainly
Iranians are no exception, we see a
great number of what Psychologists
describe as a “Parentified” child.
The parentification could be
physical (i.e. when a child is given
the responsibility of looking after
the physical needs of the parent
and/or siblings, (this can include
duties such as grocery shopping,
paying bills, supervising homework,
coordinating medical care, etc.),
and/or emotional (i.e. when a child
is given the responsibility of looking
after the emotional and psychological
needs of the parents/siblings – such
as when parents begin to confide in
the child, discussing their problems
and their issues, using the child
as a surrogate for a spouse or a
therapist). The Parentified child will
generally suffer from having his or
her own emotional needs neglected.
They often struggle with lingering
resentment, explosive anger and
difficulty in forming trusting
relationships with peers, often
following them into adulthood.
We often find the parentified
child in an enmeshed family
dynamic. Enmeshed families are
characterized by an extreme sense
of closeness, so much so that almost
any expression of independence is
seen as disloyalty to the family.
Where does one person’s business/
identity/life, end and another begin?
Within the enmeshed family,
boundaries are virtually nonexistent.
When we are made privy
to all of our parents struggles and
invited into them and even made
responsible for them; when we are
asked to comfort or give advice to
our parents on a regular basis; when
we are relied upon by our parents,
to the point where we begin to
define ourselves as essential for
their every happiness – we are in
an enmeshed family.
When it comes to adult
relationships with our parents we
often have to ask ourselves if we
have been given the opportunity to
learn about ourselves and experience
ourselves as the individuals that we
are. Have we had the opportunity to
devise our own opinions and values,
make our own decisions, and make
our own mistakes? Do our parents
accept us as adults with rights to
our own chosen life-style? Do we
accept our parents as individuals or
are we judgmental of their choices
and decisions? Do we interfere with
and try to control their lives? And
if the answer to these questions is
negative, then who do we get to
blame? Who do we hold responsible
for this? Well, my friends, the
answer to this…if you are an adult
and care to be treated as one…is
OURSELVES. Children blame
their parents for their shortcomings,
but as adults, we are the ones who
need to take responsibility for
them. Blaming our parents for the
unsatisfactory state of our lives
and for our circumstances solves
nothing. Working hard to truly
get to know ourselves and making
a point to set clear and effective
boundaries with our parents, and
defining our lives, warts and all,
by our own standards is what truly
makes us grown-up; grown-ups who
are worthy of having a mutually
respectful relationship with our
parents as well as with our own
children.

Our Films Are Not Just Selected
They Are Chosen!
“The Los Angeles
Jewish Film Festival”
By: Tannaz Kamran- Rahbar
Photos by: Jasmine Daghighian*
The Opening Night Gala of The Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival
was held on May 8, 2010. This exciting evening featured many
famous and familiar faces from the Hollywood landscape who
attended to support the creative efforts of Global Jewish Film
Artists. There was also a sprinkling of interesting characters and
personalities, such as a pair of huge sumo wrestlers, who walked the
red carpet as human props for the movie “A Matter of Size.”
he Los Angeles Jewish Film
TFestival (LAJFF) builds
community awareness, appreciation
and pride in the diversity of the
Jewish people through film. The
mission of LAJFF is to preserve
and celebrate our rich Jewish
heritage; to cultivate Jewish values
and the quality of Jewish life in our
community (not only for the affiliated
but unaffiliated); and to create and
maintain a sense of community by
providing important and exciting
programming for individuals,
families and organizations. In
attendance, were actress Shirley
Jones, Comedian Marty Ingels,
Social Media and Networking
Expert Peter Shankman, Actor
Yuval David, Consul General of
Israel, Jacob Dayan, and filmmaker
Antwone Fisher.
“A Matter of Size” was the
opening selection on that evening,
Written and Directed by Erez
Tadmor and Sharon Maymon. This
utterly charming film was filmed
in the earthy parts of Ramle and
brought out both intense laughter and
tears from the audience. The central
message to this piece is that size,
well, does matter! The challenge
we face in life, first and foremost,
is the fight for “Self Acceptance”.
We all struggle with some parts
of ourselves, whether private or
transparent to the world, physical
or emotional. Sometimes when
we need support and understanding
from those around us, we find
nothing but criticism and guilt trips
imposed by the self proclaimed
“Know It Alls” who find our misery
the perfect opportunity to feed their
own ego.
This story revolves around
Hertzel, a seriously overweight man
who has struggled with his weight
since childhood. He lives in Ramle
with his co-dependent Jewish-
Mother who instinctively feeds him
with an overabundance of fattening
foods, and at the same time ridicules
and chides her son for being fat, lazy,
and a geek. Hertzel is humiliated
and thrown out of his weight loss
support group for gaining more
weight, and loses his job for the
same reason. Determined to prove
that he is still worthy, he is drawn to
the world of Sumo Wrestling, where
he finds the comfort and respect he
desperately needs for being who
he is. The owner of the Japanese
restaurant where he finds work as a
dishwasher is an ex Sumo Master,
and together they start a team with
some other large friends. “There
they discover the one activity
where girth is a virtue and fat guys
can be rock stars!” This film is
an inspirational story about selfacceptance,
self-love, and finding
beauty and yes, LOVE, within
yourself and others, regardless
of what society dictates. We are

not born with these convictions;
we must rather fight to the end to
achieve them.
Some other movies featured
at this year’s LAJFF were:
Holy Rollers, also featured on
the Jimmy Kimmel Live show,
The Yankles, Anita, Bride Flight,
The Loners and Seven Minutes in
Heaven. There is also an evening
featuring “Student Film Showcase”
Where Jewish student films from
day and high schools throughout Los
Angeles are presented, celebrating
the “burgeoning talent of our future
generation of filmmakers.

The Barber of O.C.
By: Sabrina Azadi*
“Adults tend to lie when confronted with a newly born, hairy baby
girl. They give the mother false hopes that the beard, neck and
forehead hair on her bundle of joy will miraculously metamorphose
from coarse black to blonde and eventually fall off!”
Eight months into our marriage,
my husband suggested that I
should go and see a barber. He said
it gently without giving me cause for
alarm. He didn’t use the word hair
stylist, hairdresser or beautician. I
wonder why? I thought barbers cut
hair, give shaves and trim beards,
often with mechanical tools. Maybe
I’m being sensitive but to me the
word has a distinct masculine
connotation. Isn’t it derived from
the word barbaric? Doesn’t the word
barbaric mean someone uncouth
and often bearded? It’s possible; it
has an entirely different root word,
which I’m unaware of.
Maybe its origin relates to
Barbarella, the Queen of the Galaxy.
She’s the fantasy space traveler,
with a mane of bouncy hair. She has
various intergalactic adventures and
fights off evil with her shiny space
gun wearing skin-tight cat suits and
metallic knee high boots. Maybe
he’s trying to tell me my hair needs
more volume. I can easily fix that
with my “big sexy spray and play”
hairspray. Even though he wasn’t
looking at the hair on my head
when he mentioned it, I’m sure
that’s what he was thinking; more
bounce and body. I prefer to believe
the latter derivation.
What’s All The Fuzz For?
Darwin has a lot of
explaining to do when it comes to
female body hair. It must have some
benefit. Evolutionary science tells
me so. If it didn’t it would have shed
by now. My fuzz must serve some
purpose. Maybe it’s protecting me
from bacteria, spread of disease and
harmful UV rays. That’s now all
taken care of with penicillin, hand
sanitizer and sunscreen. Whoever’s
making the decisions must see how
futile it is. Surely they must know
we’re taking it all off. Why don’t
they bring the human conveyor belt
to a halt? Don’t they realize that
faulty batches are going out? Why
has natural selection turned a blind
eye to the plight of over protected
women?
It’s too late for me. My
concern is for future generations.
Every day thousands of baby girls
are born with what society tells me is
a genetic deviance. These girls will
spend a great deal of time and money
on removing excess hair. Forget the
rashes, cuts and the in growing hairs.
It’s the psychological damage that
leaves the worst scars. I knew a girl
that was driven to therapy because
of her deep shadowy facial hair. Her
brother had given her the nickname
Mach 3 when she was three years
old. Twenty years later, despite
hopeful family predictions, the hair
had not fallen-out. She wasn’t even
Persian.
Baby Barbarella
Misguided information from family
and friends creates anxiety. Adults
tend to lie when confronted with a
newly born, hairy baby girl. Female
family members are particularly
prone to well-meaning deception.
They give the mother false hopes that
the beard, neck and forehead hair on
her bundle of joy will miraculously
metamorphose from coarse black

to blonde and eventually fall off.
Just like the belly-button does.
They call it baby fluff. This is myth
number 1. No one has the fortitude
to tell the truth. It’s misleading and
unkind. They recall imaginary cases
when it’s happened to the baby of
a distant cousin back home or a
friend of a friend that they’re no
longer in touch with.
Their examples
are always vague
and never taken
from the immediate
family gene pool.
Frankly they would
be better off telling
the mother the truth
and allowing her to
make the necessary
provisions and
preparations both
emotionally and
financially for
herself and daddy’s
furry little princess.
No matter
how cute her
dimples are when
she smiles the
velvety moustache
is distracting, so the
baby is adorned with
a huge bow, gold
hoop earring and a
shiny name bracelet
specifically to
publicize: “I’m not
a boy!” The color
blue is boycotted.
The parents invest
heavily in everything pink.
Moo-Mitzvah?
Growing up, Baby Barbarella knows
she’s not like the rest of the girls and
feels more comfortable with other
Persian Princesses or girls from the
Mediterranean community. Who
else can understand what it’s like
to have sideburns and lose a front
tooth? When she’s old enough to
say moo (hair) she’s given a pink
Gillette ladies razor with a tiny bow
tied around it along with a can of
what looks like Barbie’s whipping
cream. Here begins what will be a
lifetime ritual. This is the point of
no return. There should be a Bat-
Mitzvah or some other formal entry
into this coming of age but instead
it’s done quietly, discreetly and only
in the presence of other women.
This secret female society will play
an important role in her life. The
initiation, is usually suggested by an
aunt, cousin or a close family friend.
There will always be a debate as for
the best course of action. Should she
start shaving right away or would it
be wiser for her to wax, and prevent
thicker hair growing back, or
maybe her condition is better suited
to threading?
Which brings
me to myth
number 2:
when you
shave, wax
or thread hair
on any part
of your body,
it will grow
back looking
exactly how
it looked
before, maybe
even worse.
The pain you
e x p e r i e n c e
during your
method of
hair removal
doesn’t give
you any
r e - g r o w t h
advantages.
Trust me, I
know.

What Do You Want To Be
When You Grow Up?
By: Ben Nabati
“Individuals in our collective age group, those born roughly
1975-1990 are estimated to have nearly a dozen jobs before
they turn 40.”
The editor of Shofar Magazine
asked if I could write a “Top
10”career choice list for our younger
readers. After giving it some thought,
I came up with five worthwhile
ones! The editor suggested heavy
amounts of research in order to
write the article. Remiss on that
account as well! But, I can assure
you a genuine, informed and mature
discussion of potential career paths.
I may add a sixth for good cheer!
So, whither shall you start
your journey into the vaunted ‘Real
World’? Will you end where you
begin? Likely not! Individuals in
our collective age group (Those born
roughly 1975-1990 are estimated
to have nearly a dozen jobs before
they turn 40). Of course, there are
the traditional career professions
like medicine and law. These paths
offer relative career security, which
Ben Franklin will tell you, has a dear
price: “He who sacrifices freedom
for security deserves neither.”
So let’s get started:
Without hesitation, healthcare
comprises nearly 20% of the
American economy. Now, that
doesn’t necessarily mean, go sign
up to take your MCAT. There are
countless peripheral opportunities
related to the healthcare industry,
such as pharmaceuticals, medical
technology, medical billing and
facility administration, just to name
a few. There’s a cornucopia (No,
that’s not a ligament!) of options
in the healthcare industry. Don’t
automatically think you have to
serve the general public directly,
such as a doctor or nurse would.
Sometimes serving providers can be
wildly lucrative, say, on a business
to business level.
Next is Sex. Yes, I said
it. Sex OR anything dealing with
it. You can lump most forms of
entertainment with sex, plus many
other industries: Certain types of
clothes, makeup, fitness and other
hype. I’m not knocking it by any
stretch, and many of you will find my
groupings absurd. I’m attempting
to impart a way of thinking: Think
of the end-user and how you’re
impacting that individual’s life.
Start and work onward from there.
In this case, things that get people
excited about how they look or
smell relates to sex. Controversial,
but correct.
Thirdly, something less
jarring: Energy-efficiency and
‘Green’ Enterprises. Federal and
state governments and utilities are
providing much sponsorship and
direction toward energy-, water-
and vital-resource-conservation
and management. The writer is
personally involved in this industry
and sees a very bright future ahead.
Taxes, taxes, taxes. The
‘Tax Man’ isn’t going away. If
anything, he’s become more
emboldened. Taxes will be a
decisive factor in society for the
remainder of human civilization. If
you can provide value in that arena
to help people ‘You-Know-What’,
you can’t go wrong.
Seen a fight lately? Of
course you have. We live in a
conflicted, licentious society.
People are always disputing various
things. One option that has gained in
popularity in business and medical
industry circles is mediation. It’s
a more efficient way of resolving
disputes. That said, I think that
other professionals that can get
people through difficult challenges
(For example, Marriage and Family
Counselors, Nutritionists and other
Consultants) will have a promising
future. The benefit to this service
is the savings in time, money
and aggravation your clients will
experience compared to dealing
with lawyers and trials.
And now for the bonus;
The Sixth, as promised. The
Sixth resides within you. By far,
the road to riches in America is a
wonderfully-executed, brilliant idea
that sees the light of day. America
is in the business of business. So

if your life’s passion leads you to
discover some incredibly different
way to achieve some relevant and
worthwhile objective, then DO IT.
And don’t look back.
No matter what you do, I
will share a few things that my 20s
have taught me. I made some major
bone-head no-no’s in my career path,
so I plead humility on every count.
But I learned from those errors
and turned stumbling blocks into
stepping stones. I recommend it.
I also recommend reading
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
It’s a wonderful story about -- you
know what? Just read it.

Rap, Torah, Rumi
What do they have in common?
By: Mahbod Moghadam*
“Although rap music creates a lot of problems - teaching violence,
promoting gangs, etc. - perhaps it is useful as a way of getting young
people to explore the Torah. Start with rap, work your way towards
the Torah, and follow if with some poetry by Rumi!”
About a year ago, Shofar
Magazine broke the story
that a new website called “Rap
Exegesis” claimed to be the Talmud
of Rap Music. Thankfully, Shofar
Magazine called these hooligans
out for their insult to Judaism and
forced them to change their name to
Rap Genius (http://rapgenius.com).
Although rap music and the Torah
have a lot in common (both advocate
violence, both involve gangs, etc...)
they both also have nice things about
them too! They foster community
building, they celebrate poetry...
However, the Torah is still
wayyyy cooler than Rap.
That’s why the editors
of Rap Genius have decided to
explain the Torah on Rap Genius!
You can check out the first chapter
of Genesis, already explained:
http://rapgenius.com/lyrics/Moses/
Genesis-chapter-1.
Apparently, the Rap Genius
editors went on Birthright Israel this
summer or something like that...
Because they also decided to make a
map of the history of Judaism called
“The Jew Map” (http://thejewmap.
com). The Jew Map was inspired
by the “Rap Map” (http://map.
rapgenius.com), which is a Google
Map showing the history of rap
music.

Although rap music creates a lot
of problems - teaching violence,
promoting gangs, etc. - perhaps it
is useful as a way of getting young
people to explore the Torah. Start
with rap, work your way towards
the Torah.
Then again, maybe rap
music and Judaism are not so far
apart to begin with! (Isn’t Judaism
really just a big gang?) Jerry Heller
- the original agent who made Dr
Dre and Ice Cube famous - was
(you guessed it!) JEWISH! Drake
- one of the most popular rappers
right now - is (half) JEWISH!
Even the rapper Shyne
converted to Judaism after studying
Kabbalah for three years (during
his prison sentence for attempted
murder.. but whatever, better than
nothing..)
Maybe these Rap Genius
kids need some meditation and
mysticism to wake them up from
their stupor. Luckily, they are also
beginning to explain poetry on their
site, including the poems of Rumi,
the great Sufi mystic/Persian poet.
Check it out!
PERSIAN MOMS: They
need your help explaining the
Rumi, and the nice part of Rap
Genius is that anyone can add
explanations. Please help these
children learn some manners and
gain some perspective. Shofar
Magazine sincerely hopes these
talented, confused children will
become aghebat bekheir in the end.

“This too shall pass...”)

Alice Dancing Under
the Gallows
By: Sanam Shamtobi*
“In a time when genocide is still a reality, Alice’s protest that “hatred only brings
hatred” is an ever-relevant message whose power cannot be underestimated.”
It is possible that in the last few
weeks, you received an email
with a video about the oldest living
holocaust survivor. As you clicked
the link, you may have thought, “I’ve
seen enough of these documentaries
to know what’s coming,” and from
the first moment is started, you
realized that this is something
different. Alice Herz-Sommer, at
almost 106 years old, is sitting in
her London flat, simply beaming
about the “phenomenal” power of
Beethoven, concluding that “Music
is G-d,” and declaring, “Everyday
in life is beautiful.”
By 1942, Alice had gained
a notable reputation as a concert
pianist, often playing with the
Czech Philharmonic as a featured
soloist. She was happily married,
had a son named Raffi and enjoyed
the company of family friends
such as Franz Kafka and Gustav
Mahler. That same year, Alice was
imprisoned in the Theresienstadt
concentration camp, where she
would continue playing piano, as
part of the Nazi agenda to deceive
the international community and
show how “well” the Jews were
doing under Nazi rule. As Alice
sees it, she was kept alive because
of the power of music.
After her liberation, Alice
sought refuge in Israel and remained
fiercely devoted to teaching and
playing piano as well as inspiring
her son to a career as a successful
cellist. Upon turning 100, she
moved to England to be close
to her family, but tragedy struck
when Raffi suddenly passed away.
With such immense sadness and
grief, Alice again found a means of
survival in her music as it gave her
space to mourn, reason, and heal.
The documentary “Alice
Dancing Under the Gallows,” is an
outstanding piece that offers any
human being a moment of escape
into the mind of a woman who
refuses to hate. Even today, after all
the time Alice has had to reflect on
her history, her ultimate conclusion
is that she is “richer than other
people.” Interview after interview
reveals how Alice’s music was not
only a personal source of comfort,
but “moral support” for the other
prisoners at Theresienstadt,
allowing them to feel “magic” if
only for a few moments. Nearly
65 years later, Alice maintains her
ability to captivate and enchant
an audience as she unwaveringly
glows with a devotion to optimism,
beauty, passion and the divinity of
allowing music, but above all else,
love into our hearts.
In a time when genocide
is still a reality, Alice’s protest
that “hatred only brings hatred” is
an ever-relevant message whose
power cannot be underestimated.
With the collection of Holocaust
testimonials that we have at our
disposal and the immense suffering
that man in general has endured, the
stories of extreme heartache and
torment should have been enough to
prevent malice to exist on any level.
Perhaps the steadfastly profound
Alice, reassuring us that life and
our fellow men are truly beautiful
will help us learn this lesson a bit
better.
The film is directed by
Oscar winning director Malcolm
Clarke and produced by Caroline
Stoessinger, Nick Reed, Chris
Branch, Larry Abramson and
Jasmine Daghighian. For more

Dear sisters,
I am a young man starting my
career in a law firm. Even though
I feel confident of my abilities,
I find myself unable to sleep at
night due to worries about my job
and my future. My friend told me
about the Eastern Philosophy of
Zen meditation and recommended
I start taking special Meditation
classes to teach me to relax. Can
you please explain to me what Zen
is all about and how it can benefit
me at this time in my life?
Thank you
=======================
Dear anxious young attorney:
Zen and Eastern Philosophy tries
to bring home this obvious point:
that life does not exist anywhere
else but at this very second, called
the Present Moment. The past is
only a day-dream of our mind, and
the potential future is nothing but a
story we have made up, a fantasy of
sorts.
While we all understand
this fact with our logical minds, we
live our daily life carrying with us
self-made stories of the past and

guidance, please contact your mental health professional.
made-up stories of the future. If we
get confronted with this dilemma,
we might say: “yes, it is true that the
past is only our version of events
passed, and the future is nothing but
our stories of potential events in the
future, and that both have no reality
in the present. BUT, we must learn
from our past so that we can create
the most desired life for ourselves
and our loved ones in the future.”
That is how we all live our life from
day to day; Learning from our past
and projecting our lessons into the
future. Trying desperately to avoid
the “bad” and searching frantically
to create more of the “good” stuff
in our lives.
Zen practice does not
advocate for us to stop doing that.
Our survival depends on doing
exactly that. The problem is that
when we do this automatically and
without awareness, we forget and
fail to see that the ONLY thing that is
real is THE PRESENT MOMENT.
This very second, this is the ONLY
dimension in which life is actually
taking place in, goes by us unnoticed
(for the most part). And
since we all agree that the life takes
place ONLY in the NOW, we can
then conclude that most of us miss
out on LIFE (the present moment),
as we obsessively dwell on the past
and worry about the future.
The NOW is swallowed up
when we rehash angry or painful
events from our past and imagine
anxiety provoking scenarios of our
potential future. One can write a
book on all the thoughts which take
place in one’s mind about him/her
past and future; all the anger and rage
and hurts and disappointments with
self and others, the wrong-doings of
self and others and the regrets and
judgments of self and others. All the
projected fears of “what if” this or
that happens. Every possible fear,
from loss of money to loss of health
and love, to eventually, the biggest
loss of all: loss of life.
The only reason we all
do this (without exception) is:
SURVIVAL. We, humans, are hardwired
to be searching continually
for whatever keeps us safe and
secure. More money, more love,
more social acceptance and friends,
the more – the better, or so we think
(unconsciously). The problem is
not that we attempt to secure our
survival, the problem is that we
do so automatically and without
awareness and hence, without limit.

Like a dog which will not stop
eating until it kills him. We too,
follow our instinct to the point of
making ourselves sick, emotionally
and physically. We work and stress
beyond what is healthy. Some
people destroy their families and
take their own life when they lose
money (although they have enough
left to live a good life).
The problem is that while
we obsessively and blindly try to
secure our survival, we miss out
on life as it takes place right here
and right now. While we are busy
rejecting what we don’t like and
frantically searching for what we do
– life is unfolding and passing by us
; in its own shape or form; whether
we like it or not. Your life is what
it is right now – right at this very
moment – including all that you do
like or all that you don’t, all that you
do accept and all that you reject.
And if you are not aware and awake
enough to experience it – you will
simply miss out on your life!
So try and train your mind
to become more mindful of itself.
Try to remind yourself to interrupt
the continuous chatter of your mind
whenever possible and simply watch
your mind. Become alert and awake
of all that is taking place right now,
including your thoughts and feelings.
Instead of getting lost in your
stories, observe them. See them for
what they are: stories. You cannot
stop your mind from spinning tales
of the past and the future, but you
can become an observant of them,
rather than getting lost in them.
This way, your stories will have less
emotional charge on your physical
being. This way, you will, in time,
learn to become quiet enough inside
of your mind so that you can take in
all the joy and pleasures that life is
offering you every day.

The Chosen Taco!
By: Tannaz Sassooni*
“Offering a fusion of two of LA’s most quintessential ethnic cuisines
‘Mexican and Jewish” Takosher deliciously fills a neglected niche in the
food truck scene.”
An exciting trend has taken
over the Los Angeles food
scene, and most everyone’s getting
involved. At lunchtime, dinnertime,
and especially late at night, on the
busiest pedestrian streets of the
city, you’ll find long lines of people
eagerly waiting their turn to taste
the flavor explosions on offer at a
variety of food trucks. The food is
part of the draw, but just as important
is the fun factor: food trucks force
us out of the isolation of our cars
and give us a rare opportunity to
socialize with our city’s diverse
citizenry. You may not hang out in
the same places as the people in line
with to you, you may even live in
completely different parts of town.
But you find yourself bonding over
the delicious treats that await you --
after all, everyone can appreciate a
Korean fusion burrito, Vietnamese
spring rolls hot out of the fryer,
or sweet potato fries topped with
tomatillo chicken, right?
Well, not exactly everyone.
The sizable number of Angelenos
who maintain a kosher diet can’t
join in the fun, with trucks offering
menu items like Korean spicy pork
burritos or cheeseburger dumplings.
Enter Takosher, the nation’s first
glatt kosher taco truck. Offering
a fusion of two of LA’s most
quintessential ethnic cuisines -
- Mexican and Jewish -- Takosher
deliciously fills a neglected niche in
the food truck scene.
But what is a Jewish-
Mexican fusion taco? The best
example might be the brisketaco.
At first glance, it looks totally
authentic: shredded meat in small
lightly grilled corn tortillas topped
with chopped onions and cilantro,
and it even riffs off the traditional
suadero taco, which also features
brisket. But the flavors here are
pure Ashkenazi family dinner. Slow
braised in a sauce of chili, raisins,
and sauerkraut, the tender meat is
sweet and tangy.
Another unorthodox option
is the latketaco. While you can
occasionally find potato tacos at
Mexican taquerías around town,
Takosher packs theirs with crispy
potato mini-fritters, and tops them
with an apple jalapeño chutney,
demonstrating how well the flavors
of a traditional Hanukkah favorite
can satisfy anyone’s late-night
hankering for salty, sweet, and
fried.
Carne asada, citruschipotle
chicken (cheekily called
“The Chosen Chicken”), and the
“Fujita” -- tofu prepared fajitastyle
-- round out the taco selection.
Though there’s no cheese or sour
cream to be found at this taco truck,
Takosher keeps things bright with
fresh homemade salsas and a crisp
jicama cucumber slaw. They also
feature a selection of kosher sodas.

While Takosher takes
its glatt kosher certification
very seriously, it maintains that
sense of playful irreverence that
typifies LA’s gourmet food trucks,
demonstrated here by the slightly
tweaked catchphrases splashed
across the bright blue truck: “The
Chosen Taco”, and “Why Is This
Taco Different From All Other
Tacos?” But, as anyone who
keeps kosher knows all too well,
dining at kosher restaurants comes
at a premium, and Takosher is no
different. Paying $3.50 for a taco
may come as a shock to those used to
the rock-bottom prices at traditional
taco trucks, but kosher certification
and kosher ingredients are costly,
and Takosher’s commitment to
high-quality ingredients and unique
recipes help to justify a larger
pricetag. After all, you can’t expect
the Chosen Taco to come cheap.
Takosher’s commitment to
kashrut goes beyond the letter of the
dietary laws. According to Lowell
Bernstein, one of the owners,
“Takosher really focuses on eating
with purpose, using food as a conduit
or tool not only to nourish ourselves
physically and emotionally, but to
nourish our sense of community.”
And it goes beyond just food. “We
recycle, we donate food, we work
with non-profit organizations, we
are working to develop relationships
with schools.” Bernstein, along
with owners Moises Baqueiro and
Chris Martin, strive to run their
company with ‘fitness’, the literal
translation of kashrut, in mind.
“We respect what we create and
who creates it. We go the extra mile
to create a cohesive and pleasant
work environment for all of our
team members. We purchase local
whenever possible.”
You can find the truck
all over town: serving the late
night post-Shabbat crowd in Pico-
Robertson on a Saturday night, at
Jewish and non-Jewish events, and
at private parties (don’t you wish
you had a taco truck at your Bar
Mitzvah?). Track the Takosher

Book Review:
Briefly Noted
By: Mojgan Moghadam Rahbar
Bone Worship, by Elizabeth
Eslami (Pegasus; $15.95). In her
debut novel, Iranian American
author Eslami writes about her life
and experiences as the daughter of
an American mother and Iranian
father. Jasmin Fahroodi returns
home after spending four years at
a top American university without
graduating, due to her failing
grades. Throughout her childhood
and in college she has found it
hard to make friends and express
herself. Jasmin believes that most
of this awkwardness is because of
her father’s discomfited behavior
which she believes extends from his
cultural background. Dr. Fahroodi
enjoys a certain amount of respect
from his patients and colleagues at
the small town where he practices
medicine, but he is not able to make
friends with any of his associates no
matter what country they are from.
Jasmin’s brother has left the family
in pursuit of his own dreams which
did not meet with their father’s
stern conviction that he should
study to become a doctor. Upon
returning home her father believes
that the only path open to her, after
failing school and choosing not to
pursue medicine, is to get married.
So, he goes in a serious search for
Khastegars who would date and
perhaps marry his daughter. The
relationship between Jasmin and
her father is full of ambiguity and
she believes that her father’s lack of
affection stems from his different
culture. Dr. Fahroodi does not like
to talk about his days in Iran or
his family so it is even harder for
Jasmin to understand him. This is
perhaps why she believes that all
the strange behaviors that her father
shows are because of his Iranian
culture. There are some parts of
the book that make it hard for an
Iranian to identify with Jasmin or
her father. For example, one of her
Iranian khastegars is named Omar.
As far as I know Iranians are not too
fond of Omar in a historical sense
and there is no way that any Iranian
would call their son by that name.
So, sometimes it is hard to believe
if the book is representing a true
Iranian American conflict or just a
limited perception of one individual
who cannot explain the strangeness
of her father and the only reason
she can come up with is that he was
born and raised in another country.
Traditions Linger, by Leah R.
Baer PhD (Mazda Publishers;
$35). As an American Jew, Baer
was very interested to know about
the life and traditions of the Iranian
Jewry while studying in a special
exchange program at Ferdowsi
University in Mashhad, Iran in the
summer of 1978. She was surprised
to find how different the cultural and
traditional beliefs and ceremonies
of Iranian Jews were compared to
those of European heritage. These
interests prompted her to research
and write about the history and life
of Iranian Jews in Iran and follow
the cultural changes that have taken
place within this community in
the United States. Baer has done
a wonderful job of explaining the
complicated history of Iranian
Jews in a brief and easy to follow
narrative and describe the sense of
cultural identity that each Iranian
American Jew feels and wants to
hold on to.
