Who are we?

ZYNA’s Religion & Culture Subcommittee is dedicated to educating the North American community about Zoroastrianism; particularly the influence the religion continues to have on members in and out of our community. Going beyond basic Sunday school, we discuss much more than just good thoughts, words, and deeds. 

The R&C team currently holds ZOOM sessions every 2 months, where qualified speakers share their expertise on various topics to foster respectful discourse during Q&A sessions. In addition, we collaborate with the Outreach and Communication subcommittee so we can find and use modern ways to teach North American youth about Zoroastrianism.

Current projects in the works include, but are not limited to:

  • Publishing concise Zoroastrian content on social media
  • Utilizing AI to create art related to the Gathas, Avesta, and Shahnameh.
  • Creating free, virtual resources that both parents and youth can enjoy together.
