POSTPONED - Library Speaker Series Featuring Moobedyar Dr. Rashin Jahangiri

Important Notice – Event Postponement

The ZSO Library Committee regrets to inform you that Moobedyar Dr. Rashin Jahangiri’s lecture, originally scheduled for Friday, February 20, has been postponed.

Due to the current roof leakage, there are limitations on the use of the audio-visual and technology resources required to properly host the lecture. In addition, with the upcoming inclement weather and Environment Canada warnings, we feel it is best to prioritize the safety and comfort of our community.

The safety of our members and guests remains our highest priority. A new date will be announced as soon as it is confirmed.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you to this lecture in the near future.

The ZSO Library Committee is pleased to invite you to the next event in its Speaker's Series, featuring an illuminating talk on Avesta, the language spoken by Asho Zarathushtra and the foundation of our religious texts. 

Dr. Rashin Jahangiri, Moobedyar, Council of Tehran Moobeyars, and Avesta scholar, recorded the five Gathas for the Gatha Speaking Pen, a smart device which anyone can use to listen to the correct pronunciation of the Gathas based on Din Dabireh, by moving the smart pen on the surface of a specific Gatha page.

Her presentation, “Avestan Language and Script: An Important Part of Zoroastrian Identity,” will provide information about this technological marvel, as well as highlight the historical, linguistic, and cultural significance of the Avestan language and script.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of learning, reflection, and community connection.
