Russian artist Alex Gelfenboim (& 36 women of the Pomegranate Guild, led by Rita Lenkin Hawkins) created a needlepoint tapestry. It shows a story of courage, hope & optimism for a world at peace. The Warfield/Exodus Peace Tapestry is a retelling of history. It commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Exodus & the founding of Israel. Dr. Barry S. Lever is the speaker.
