MR. MECH Complete Auto Repair a Foreign & Domestic "One Bible story I came across talked about Samuel working for 'Eli the preacher' in the 'church,' " Rabbi Levy said, referring to Eli the priest in Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. "Another one was about Mary and Joseph on the eighth day taking Jesus to `church,' " another misleading reference to Solomon's temple. Upset that Christian chil- dren were being fed such misrepresentations of Judaism, Rabbi Levy decid- ed that interfaith curricular materials had to be produc- ed. Wendy Watterston, one of the rabbi's confirmation students, made the creation of such material her confir- mation project. In early 1982, Rabbi Levy presented the final project — an interreligious coloring book — to a meeting of the Texas Conference of Chur- ches, where it was received with great interest. Four mainline churches in Tyler — Presbyterian, Methodist, Disciples of Christ, and Episcopalian — picked up on the idea and joined with Rabbi Levy's synagogue to create a small interfaith "experimental classroom." Three second- graders from each of the five congregations were chosen for a class to be taught by three teachers — one Catholic, one Protestant, and one Jewish. The "How We Celebrate" experiment was so suc- cessful with second-graders, Rabbi Levy said, that the participating congregations developed similar curricula for fifth graders, tenth graders, and adults. Within a few years, two other local congregations — Baptist and Catholic — joined the ex- periment. Looking for a publisher for the coloring book, Rabbi Levy presented it to the UAHC for consideration. In 1990, the UAHC agreed to publish an edited version. "We knew it would be used primarily by Jewish chil- dren," Mr. Kasakove said. "So we changed the focus." Pictures of a church, a communion chalice and Easter eggs were removed, which changed the coloring book's balance. The coloring book's final text does mention Easter and Christmas along with its explanation of Jewish holidays, the rabbi said, but its focus is clearly on Judaism, with six pictures about Jewish holidays and the remaining three on secular themes. ❑ Mr. Mechanic also specializes in major engine repair, computer diagnostics, clutch replacement, front end work, electrical repair and exhaust systems.
