Join us for a special Nowruz (Persian New Year) celebration hosted by Shabeh Jomeh. Everyone is welcome! Claudius Raphael will be spinning some great tunes, you can anticipate some Persian music as well.

Nowruz literally “new day” is the name of the Persian New Year, which is celebrated worldwide by various ethno-linguistic groups.

Nowruz is the day of the vernal equinox, and marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the first day of the first month (Farvardin) of the Persian calendar.It usually occurs on March 21 or the previous or following day, depending on where it is observed. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year, and families gather together to observe the rituals.

Shabeh Jomeh is a monthly gathering of young Iranian professionals living in the metropolitan areas of major cities. The event is designed to improve upon existing professional and social relations and is intended to be the platform for exchanging ideas and improving Iranians’ professional standing in our communities. This gathering is a non-political, non-religious event and is open to all professionals. Shabeh Jomeh has created a bond between all of our communities and a great network upon which we can all capitalize. Each Shabeh Jomeh has its own character within the framework of the simple formula highlighted—building a community to help us both socially and professionally advance. Each Chapter convenes on the 3rd Thursday of each month.
