Oak Park, MI 48237 Expert Consultation - Select Quality Granite 90 November 2 a 2006 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
