 Esteemed Superiors, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and to the greater Iranian Jewish Community for allowing me to spend more than 40 years of the best days of my life at your service. Throughout this time period, I have made great efforts to faithfully and honestly be a servant of our community, without any expectations. My service would be solely based upon my religious beliefs, which are in turn based on the heritage bestowed upon me by my late father Hacham Yedidia Shofet of blessed memory, and the 13 generations before him, all of whom were Torah teachers and community servants. I have spent 33 of these 40 years of service with the Jewish Community in Los Angeles and at Nessah Synagogue. To the best of my abilities, I have tried to listen to any Jew who has consulted with me, and dedicated my time to guide and assist them.

In 2006 PersianRabbi.com was born and quickly became a favorite website of Persian Jews in Los Angeles, New York and other cities around the world. Being a volunteer based outlet allowed PersianRabbi.com to be an independent voice in our community, allowing it to express its feelings and ideas without any other organization’s control. With its mix of humor (remember the Dancing Haji?), and informative articles about Jewish life, the sites viewership continually grew to hundreds of daily visitors from across the globe.

AN OPEN LETTER: A Call to Peace, Dialogue and Understanding between Muslims and Jews
Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve (Qur'an 2:62).

On a Sunday morning at 2 a.m. earlier this year, a local Iranian Jewish mother was on the phone crying hysterically after her son had been arrested for drug possession and locked up in the L.A. County jail downtown. She didn't call her relatives, her rabbi, or a lawyer for help -- she called Dara Abaei, an Iranian Jewish youth mentor and activist.

Washington -- Were you to talk to Isaac Larian about his childhood in Iran, he would not wax nostalgic over childhood games or playthings. In fact, he would tell you that when his friends and cousins played or went on vacation, he did “constant, hard work” helping his father run a retail textile business. |
