World Wall for Peace The Ashkenaz Peace Wall grew from a collaboration between World Wall for Peace and members of the West Berkeley neighborhood where Ashkenaz is located. The wall tiles were painted at Ashkenaz, at the First Dance-A-Thon on January 17, 1998 and at Peoples Park Fair on May 10, 1998 (Mother's Day). The World Wall for Peace was dedicated to Ashkenaz founder, David Nadel, on December 20, 1998 by Linda Maio (member of the City Council) and by Carolyna Marks (founder of the World Wall for Peace).
There are Walls in 31 countries containing over 36,000 tiles. The Ashkenaz World Wall for Peace contains 108 individual tiles. A "Thank You" tile was painted for the Ashkenaz dedication.

"I did not know David Nadel personally. But I do know that we shared a common experience and belief. Dance changed our lives. He believed, and I believe, in the transformative power of dance. The place David created is uniqueÊ nowhere else can you dance to such a variety of live music. And no place else has the sense of community that Ashkenaz embodies." -A local dance and music lover |
