Assisi Global House of Friendship and Hope Again in the News

We were delighted to have received recently further coverage of our Assisi House of Friendship and Hope from Eternal World Television Network. The occasion was a visit to the Rome Synagogue by Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa. Cardinal Cantalamessa is the Papal Household Preacher. He has been preaching to successive popes for decades, in preparation for Christmas and Easter. He is one of the most important, and representative, voices in the Catholic Church. Cardinal Cantalamessa and Rabbi Alon have been good friends for many many years, and the Cardinal, himself a Franciscan monk, is a great supporter of the vision of the Assisi Global House. Cardinal Cantalamessa came to the Rome Synagogue in order to hold a dialogue with Rabbi Alon Goshen-Gottstein concerning the Assisi project. Also featured in the news report is Rabbi Ricardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome. The news clip also features Pope Francis’ letter of support for the project.
