We are excited to welcome Farzana Jamalzada and Farhad Khurami to the OJC on Saturday morning, February 11. They were featured in this NYTimes article this past summer. Both refugees from Afghanistan, they will share parts of their stories with us as we observe Refugee Shabbat.


The couple compares their life to this poem:


“O, fly and never tire,

Fly and never tire,

Fly and never tire,

There’s a great camp meeting in the Promised Land.”
