The year was 1958. Israel's
Jewish population was
1,719,624. Public schools in
Arkansas and Virginia were
closed to avoid compliance
with the federal courts order
to desegregate. The United
States allocated $547 million
to Israel. And 10 men
gathered in the Clarenceville
Central Elementary School to
organize Friday night Shab-
bat services that would one
day become the Livonia
Jewish Congregation.
On Sunday, the Livonia
Jewish Congregation will
celebrate its 30th anniversary
with a Chai Dinner, honoring

purchased its first facility on
two and one-half acres of land
and a farmhouse on Seven
Mile Road and Osmus. The
farmhouse was renovated and
used for meetings, services
and congregational offices.
One year later, Cantor Henry
Blank came to the Livonia
Jewish Congregation.
The congregation found a
new home in 1964, when it
purchased a church on Six
Mile Road in Livonia and
renovated it into a synagogue.
The facility, which seated 400
persons, included a sanctuary,
social hall, kitchen, offices
and classrooms.
Martin Gordon was named
rabbi of the synagogue in
1967. Among his respon-
sibilities are visiting Jewish
prisoners, serving as chaplain
of the Livonia Police Depart-
ment and working as
chaplain at Northville State
Mental Hospital.
In 1971, the Livonia Jewish
Congregation moved into its
current facility on Seven Mile
Road.
Helen Bayles was named
president of the congregation
in 1978. She is one of only 50
women who served as presi-
dent of a Conservative
synagogue. That same year,
Cantor Blank retired from
full-time duties. Eighty-nine
years old when he retired, he
served for 70 years as a
cantor.

will hold a program on "Will

Jewish education is most ef-

nel 56's "SpeakOut!" pro-
gram, will moderate. Guest
panelists will be Charlotte
