Why is it called Yeshiva Beth Yehudah?
eshiva Beth Yehudah is
named in memory of
Rabbi Yehudah Layb Levin,
who lived from 1862 to
1928. A Torah scholar,
mathematician and
inventor, he served
as rabbi of seven
synagogues and was
regarded as one of Detroit's
major Jewish religious leaders.

from frum to secular.
About 75 percent of the clan is still
in Detroit, with a high density of
Levins congregating within a three-
mile radius of 14 Mile Road and
Orchard Lake Road.
Cindy Levin Daitch recalls lining
up with her cousins on Chanukah to
receive get, always a sil-
ver dollar, from her
grandfather Jacob. Jay
Levin, Yale's son,
remembers walking with
family members to
Jacob's northwest Detroit
shul, Beth Yehudah. He
also remembers the food.
"You always knew
what you were going to
eat for each holiday," he
says, noting that each
family member had a
different specialty.
"You knew that at the
picnic you'd have to have
potato kugel," says Jay's cousin, Elaine
Resnick.
Food is still key. At the Chanukah
party in the clubhouse of a West
Bloomfield subdivision, plates flowed
over with a potluck assortment of
macaroni, tuna, latkes, a plethora of
salads and a hefty selection of desserts.
Marrying into the Levin family can
be overwhelming. "I still don't know
the names of all the aunts," confesses
Jay Levin's wife of two years,
Andrea, as she scans the
Chanukah party around her.
"There's people here tonight
I've never seen before."
What keeps the family
together after all these years?
"The key thing is that the
family is mutually supportive
even if they don't see each
other all the time," says Cindy
Daitch. "You can always count
on them and be sure they'll be
there for you...Everyone has a
strong link to being Jewish and
part of the family."
For Elaine Resnick, it's the family's
refusal to hold grudges. "There's never
any fighting, never hard feelings," she
says. "If someone's angry, we don't not
speak to one another. My mother
always used to say to me that you
never stay angry with your family
because that's what you have."

seem to want to work to keep it that

And no, the Levins are not related
to U.S. Senator Carl or U.S.
Representative Sander Levin. But not--\
for lack of trying. According to Linda
Levin Ashley, who wrote a Detroit
News article on the family in 1978,
Carl Levin called up Yale Levin short-
ly after the story ran. Ashley recalls
that "he said, 'How do I get in to your
Levin family?'"
