At the urging of Debbie Bellino, a hostess, he expanded his puppet exhibit until it became a show which he has repeated more times than anyone canremember for parties for children. Thursday, after he cut his cake before about 30 people assembled for the occasic.1, he received a watch from Debbie and her friends that read, "Mr. Blackwell, we love vou".

County Jewish Congregation Celebrates First Passover The McHenry county Jewish Congregation celebrated its first Passover holiday together Thursday evening, April 12, in t h e s o c i a l h a l l o f t h e Congregational Universalist church in Woodstock. Over 55 adults and children from the McHenry, Crystal Lake and Woodstock areas gathered to hear the reading of the Hagaddah, the story of the Jewish people's escape from slavery in Egypt. "Since so many of our members live away from their relatives, we felt that it was important to hold a Passover celebration in McHenry county," emphasized Stu Balienson, who helped organize the four month old Jewish group. "Family relationships are very important in the Jewish religion. Therefore, we tried very hard to recreate a warm, friendly family atmosphere at the Passover celebration hosted by the congregation," added Balienson. Highlighting the traditional d i n n e r w a s m a t z o , a n d unleavened bread. "During the 3 day holiday observance, Jews are required to eat matzo instead of bread," explained Mrs. Bunny Squire who helped organize the Passover celebration for the congregation She added that this custom remembers the haste with which the Jews fled Egypt and were unable to wait for the leavening to rise in their bread. "The Passover story read from the Hagaddah is recited mainly for the benefit of the children." said Harvey Schneider of Woodstock, who helped lead the celebration. Schneider was also assisted by Clyde Kurlander of Crystal Lake. Honored guests at the traditional Seder celebration and dinner were Reverend Barbara Merritt and her husband Jeffrey. Reverend Merritt is the minister of the church where the newly formed Jewish congregation holds it weekly Friday evening worship services. No Charge To Our Savers...
