A big Saal Mubarak to you, your loved ones, family and friends and the entire Zarathushti community in the greater Tri-state area and all around the world.

An organization is as strong as its members and ZAGNY is thankful to all our members, well wishers and friends for the years of support in terms of time, effort and money.

See you at the New Year celebrations tomorrow at the Darbe Mehr.

New Darbe Mehr Building Project

The New Rochelle Darbe-Mehr was the very first Zoroastrian Center in North America. The community enjoyed this large charming modified residential home for many decades. We out grew this facility and after years of grueling searches found a wonderful property in Pomona NY which housed a Jewish community center. This was purchased in 2001 and has been the Zoroastrian community’s home for the past 10 years. Over the years we have considered many options from upgrading to expansion to a completely new building.

After years of discussion, a group of community members have rationalized that a new building makes the most sense, got commitments of $400,000 from die-hard supporters and approached DMZT/IZA/ZAGNY with their thought process to get their initial support to investigate this initiative further. The result is the New Darbe-Mehr Initiative (NDMI) LLC, a business entity which would spend the collected funds, rather than DMZT community funds, to explore this idea and opportunity. After more than 6 months of design options and a string of meetings with DMZT/IZA/ZAGNY we are finally at a point where we have a Building design which meets the needs identified by these organizations. We have very rough preliminary cost estimates and some preliminary pledges which make the whole proposition exciting and certainly doable with wide participation.
