Sponsorship and Alireza Torabian

refugee sponsorship: Alireza Torabian, who is leading the sponsorship efforts at the mosque, says the partnership sets a good example for other Canadians, according to Globe and Mail. We are very proud that we can start a project and show Canadians that different cultural groups and religions can work together in Canada on the same common cause, he said. The more we learn about each other religion, the more we realize we have in common. Given their proximity to one another, there has always been a relationship between the synagogue and the mosque, but last fall, Mr. In December, the synagogue decided it wanted to sponsor Syrian refugees and reached out to the mosque, which happened to be considering refugee sponsorship too. Weiss and the imam of the IMIC, Seyed Reza Hosseini-Nasab, met to get to know one another better. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
