A larger than life stone bust of Golda Meir has been given to the Ohr Kodesh Congregation in Chevy Chase, Md., by the sculptress, Bernice Marker, in honor of her father, Banjamin Marker. The sculptress worked nearly a year on the bust. Mrs. Meir, in a letter to Rabbi Tzvi Porath of the congregation, said she was impressed with the work. Ms. Marker is making another bust for presentation to Mrs. Meir through the Israel Embassy.
