Kane Street Synagogue, in collaboration with Congregation Beth Elohim, Hannah Senesh Community Day School, HUC-JIR, Kanisse, and JCC of Brooklyn, is so excited to welcome the sisters of our beloved rabbi, Danielle and Galeet Dardashti, hosts of the brand-new podcast, The Nightingale of Iran. Amid the golden age for Jews in Iran, a religious Jew – Younes Dardashti – became a national celebrity, singing at the Shah’s palace and on the radio. In the 1960s, his son––and our own Rabbi Michelle Dardashti's father––Farid became a teen idol on TV. They were beloved by Iranian Muslims. But at the height of their fame, they left the country. It has always been a mystery to hosts Danielle Dardashti and her sister Galeet – Why did their family leave Iran? Now, in a documentary podcast series, the sisters reveal painful secrets unspoken for generations. The Nightingale of Iran is a story that will resonate with outsiders everywhere.

Join the Dardashti sisters on Thursday, March 14th at 7:30pm, as they are interviewed by Hey Alma's Evelyn Frick. The 45-minute interview will be followed by refreshments and schmoozing. Kane Street is thrilled to host the launch of this wonderful new podcast.
