Stranger at the Gate was held at Hofstra university. Attached video of he program courtesy of IFI president Dr Unni Mooppan, its about 30 minutes. The following comment from DT a new attendee sums up my feelings. “ Like you, I was tremendously moved by the closing prayer at the Hofstra event. To hear the Hebrew verses sung by a rabbi/cantor and read in English by a former Marine, former Christian, now a Muslim took my breath away. That was truly a moment to celebrate!” Special thanks to Daisy Khan and Rosanna Perrotti for helping make this a highlight of the year for IFI.
