On July 6th, the newly formed Global Mashadi Jewish Federation will officially be launched at their first ever conference in Jerusalem.  The mission of the federation, founded by Mr. Bahman Kamali, is to ensure the survival of the Mashadi heritage and preserve it in all locations where Mashadis live.
