As we anticipate next month’s annual Women’s Seder, we invite you to gather for an evening of art and reflection on this year’s theme of A Tapestry of Our  History.  Led by Lolly Jamerson, we will reflect on which elements of the Passover story resonate most with us, explore these ideas in oil pastels, and attach these drawings to create a cohesive piece.
