Nessah Cultural and Educational Center’s IDEA Group

The owner of NewPoint Fabrics and KasLen Textiles, David Raminfard leverages his more than 30 years of industry experience to source and sell fabrics from around the world. Dedicated to helping his community, David Raminfard belongs to the Nessah Cultural and Educational Center and he makes regular donations to the organization and routinely attends board meetings.

The Nessah Cultural and Educational Center was founded several decades ago as the Nessah Synagogue. Over the years, the organization, which was created to provide Iranian Jews with a home away from home, has established and maintained several social and educational programs and groups, including IDEA, or Individuals Devoted to Education and Awareness.

Made up of young Iranian Jewish professionals, IDEA promotes awareness of social, political, and religious issues that many individuals face today. Through this group, Nessah hosts numerous events that tackle various subjects relating to political and religious challenges and challenge attendees to think about their role in changing the landscape of the community.

At the same time, IDEA promotes growth among its members and community by creating programs that focus on fun. These events provide attendees with a comfortable environment where they can meet like-minded individuals. Many individuals who participate in IDEA’s programs establish lasting and real friendships.

Former Laker Nick Young becomes a Warrior

A professional within the textile industry for over 36 years, David Raminfard serves as the president of KasLen Textiles and New Point Fabrics. Both companies are based in California and import textiles for distribution in a variety of markets. Aside from his professional responsibilities, David Raminfard enjoys following NBA basketball.

At the close of 2016-2017 basketball season, Los Angeles Laker Nick Young opted out of a $5.7 million player option with the Lakers, choosing instead to become a free agent. In July, Young agreed to a one-year, $5.2 million deal with the Golden State Warriors. 

Commonly known as “Swaggy P,” Young started playing for the Lakers in 2013. Since then, he has played in 220 games for the team. At the end of his tenure with the Lakers, Young averaged 43.9 percent of his shot attempts, placing him within the 83.3 percentile. His shooting talents make him a great addition to a team of high-scoring Warriors, including Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson. 

Analysts agree that the Warriors is a great place for Young, commonly recognized as a class clown, to land. His talents and somewhat wacky personality will fit perfectly in an already strong lineup, possibly even clinching him a long-desired championship.
