SALUTES OUR
H SPICE HEROES
Irving Laker first contacted Jewish Hospice
& Chaplaincy Network seeking care for his
mother after doctors gave her only months to live.
With - nurturing and support from JHCN, she
lived two years.
"They are able to reach people. They awaken the
spirit," Irving says. "Where else are you going to
be uplifted when you are down? Jewish Hospice is
a bracha!"
Today Irving is one of JHCN's most dependable
supporters. "I know they need money, so I call
them. Everyone should send a check."

He Dreamed Of
World Peace
F,
o often, Arnold Michlin was
referred to as a builder of
bridges. But, said his son-in-
law, Dr. Phil Borden, "Arnold was the
bridge"
Mr. Michlin, of Waterford, died Oct.
23 at age 86. "His
legacy is his untir-
ing work for equal-
ity-to end religious
discrimination and
ignorance': said his
daughter, Leslye
Borden. He had a
"positive and hope-
ful outlook that -
everything that
can be done can be
accomplished with Arnold Michlin
hard work; and he
had his great ideal-
ism, especially working toward world
peace," she added.
Twenty-five years ago this month,
Mr. Michlin co-founded the American
Arab and Jewish Friends, created, as
he once said, "with the clear under-
standing that we, as a group, would
not discuss the Middle East in public
or at meetings"
The volunteer group worked to fos-
ter friendships without the obstacles
of history or politics. "They solved a
lot of local issues and brought the two
communities together," Leslye Borden
said.
Always striving toward what
Borden termed his "obligation to .
social service," Mr. Michlin began his
involvement in volunteerism by join-
ing Materials for People in Palestine
in the 1940s."Before there was a State
of Israel, they worked to send airplane
parts to be assembled there said his
son, Shalom Michlin. "He loved Israel:'
added Congregation Shaarey Zedek
Rabbi Joseph Krakoff. "He worked
diligently to raise money for pre-state
Israel"
Later, Mr. Michlin worked tire-
lessly for Soviet Jewry. "He was
always out there, organizing rallies;'
Shalom Michlin said. "He was always
an activist"
Mr. Michlin was a past president
of the Greater Detroit B'nai B'rith
Council, served for many years on the
Anti-Defamation League's Michigan
Region Advisory Board and was
active in the Ecumenical Institute for
Jewish-Christian Studies, now the
Dove Institute.
His honors included the World
Sabbath of Religious Reconciliation's
Peacemaker Award and the Regional
Man of the Year Award from the Men's
Club of Congregation Shaarey Zedek,
where he was a long-
time active member.
Of Michlin receiving
the United Way Heart
of Gold award, Rabbi
Krakoff said, "What
could be more appro-
priate than to describe
Arnold as a man with a
heart of gold?"
He was genuine,
said Dr. Borden, in
that "what you saw
was what you got. His
integrity gave his life
a calmness and a unity, evident in
his sense of humor and smile. " And
to call Mr. Michlin tolerant was an
understatement. "His ability to listen
took him beyond tolerance to accep-
tance': Dr. Borden added. "He was so
genuinely interested in the opinions,
stories, ideas and values of others and
so deeply respectful of them that a
conversation with him became some-
thing sacred"
Mr. Michlin studied to become a
chemist at the old Detroit Institbte of
Technology and served in the Army.
He and his brother, Norman, opened a
war surplus business after World War
II and later took over their father's
business, Michlin Chemical Company.
Mr. Michlin was also an inven-
tor, Shalom said,"My father actually
helped us win World War II with an
idea he had while working at Ford,
making crank shafts for Sherman
tanks. And in the 1970s he created the
world's first silicone-latex caulk."
Judaism played into many areas of
Mr. Michlin's life. "My dad strongly
believed in the Jewish religion and
that Jews should be capable of tolerat-
ing people of other religions': Shalom
said. "He also believed other religions,
in turn, should have tolerance for
Judaism and other religions."
Mr. Michlin combined a love of
Judaism with other interests dur-
ing his seven years of study with
Chasidic Rabbi Herschel Finman of
