Now, at 72, the Russian-born laborer's son who first dreamed of being a cantor, then a poet and finally a painter has fused all three visions in what may well rank as his supreme achievement: twelve 11-ft. by 8-ft. stained-glass windows that symbolize in luminous colors and phantasmagorical shapes the twelve tribes of Israel...
