The Iranian Cultural and Religious Center offers various programs for national and religious occasions. They have a mix of activities, like reading Masnavi and fun events outside the center. The atmosphere is friendly and volunteer-driven.
It is a very good cultural place, there we can communicate with Iranian Muslim compatriots and we can use Iranian community cultural programs such as Nowruz festival and... In general, it is a very friendly place.
Nice place to be connected to Iranian culture. Several and various national, cultural and religious events.
Tonight was different. Noor center invited a pastor to talk about Jesus Christ regarding to Christmas eve which was two days ago. After his speech it was 20 minutes Q&A. Then they served a delicious dinner.
As its name suggests, it's an Iranian "cultural" center rather than an "Islamic" center. However, Islamic ceremonies are often held there. Talks and discussions slightly have more taste of academic arguments rather than preaches, compared to other centers of its kind. One might feel more comfortable to express his/her opinion and criticize, especially the traditional Islamic beliefs. Also hijab is not mandatory there. Most of the time, kids are playing regardless of whether someone is preaching or giving a talk, running and playing around the presenter and usually no one disrupts their play. Be prepared for their noise, shouts and laughters. The weekly event is on Thursdays, from sunset with a duration of 2-3 hours
Congratulation!
