"Years after #YounesDardashti’s death, his granddaughter #Galeet is still singing with him in #NewYork.
Using #archival #recordings of her grandfather’s voice, #GaleetDardashti created her #album #Monajat — meaning an intimate conversation with God — layering her vocals over decades-old tapes of him #singing #Selihot, religious poetry chanted nightly before the #Jewish New Year.
Across the country in #LosAngeles, #JacquelineRafii — senior #cantor of Valley Beth Shalom, one of the largest Conservative #synagogues in the U.S. — is also working to preserve her #Iranian grandfather’s traditional #Persian Jewish #music.
While in #cantorial school, Rafii rediscovered cassette tapes made of her grandfather leading a #Passover seder in #Tehran. When her family was forced to flee the country following the #IslamicRevolution in 1979, they brought that cassette tape with them."

Bike-in movie night on the Los Angeles River
Projecting a film on one of the concrete supports for the bike/ped bridge across the LA River is a genius idea.

Conductor was explaining communal seating in the dining car. Apparently this really shocks people who’ve never ridden the train before.
Multiple announcements about the importance of wearing shoes on the train..
6. Riding the Southwest Chief to New Mexico (what a name)
It’s sunset soon but I’m pretty sure I’ll wake up to some incredible desert views. I’ve never been south or southwest
The cost of riding this train in coach is usually $78ish between LA and Albuquerque, with highest prices around 200+ if you book super late. But I’m riding it as part of my rail pass
Edit: forgot my Southwest Chief fun fact. This route (which runs LA to Chicago) is pretty much the modern version of the Super Chief. There used to be a San Francisco Chief that did San Francisco to Chicago, between 1954 and 1971
Union Station, Los Angeles. Guess where I’m going next?
