The NIT-Nessah Group at Nessah Cultural and Educational Center

For more than four decades, David Raminfard has served as the president of KasLen Textiles and NewPoint Fabrics, two California-based companies dedicated to sourcing and selling international and domestic fabrics. Dedicated to supporting his community, David Raminfard belongs to the Nessah Cultural and Educational Center and regularly attends board meetings for the organization.

Nessah Cultural and Educational Center grew out of Nessah Synagogue, an entity that was founded by Rabbi David Shofet to welcome Iranian Jews. Over the years, Nessah has created and maintained numerous groups that boost community involvement among Jewish individuals of all ages. One of the organization’s groups designed for teenagers is NIT-Nessah.

NIT-Nessah, or Nessah Israel Teens, was created to help Jewish teenagers develop a strong connection to Israel and to their Jewish roots. The groups accomplished this by creating and hosting various education and social programs. These activities encourage teens to create long-lasting friendships and improve their sense of self. In doing so, the group helps young individuals shape their own communities for the future. All of the activities hosted by NIT-Nessah are designed in accordance with the group’s guiding principles, which include social responsibility, equity, and community.
