ducator, photog-
rapher, baseball
enthusiast and
children’s playmate.
These were all facets of
David “Dave” Dombey,
described by a friend as
“the kindest, warmest and
nicest guy you’d ever want
to meet.”
Together with his late
wife, Fayga, the Dombeys David Dombey
were among the found-
ers in 1964 of Yeshivat
Akiva, now Farber Hebrew Day School
in Southfield. They also helped launch
Young Israel of Oak-Woods, a Modern
Orthodox congregation that merged
with Young Israel of Greenfield to form
today’s Young Israel of Oak Park.
Dave Dombey, 94, of Oak Park died
on June 24, 2018. His funeral and inter-
ment took place in Israel. An evening
to honor the memory of the Dombeys
will begin at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 5, at
Young Israel of Southfield.
He was born to Detroit-based
Zionists Miriam and Maurice “Moishe”
Dombey on March 9, 1924. Moishe, an
insurance salesman, had an ongoing
Yiddish comedy routine, “Mr. Chizik,”
on the radio.
Dave graduated from Central High
School and Wayne State University
with a BS in eduation and New York
University with a MA in education.
He met Fayga Herman of New
York on the beach in Miami Beach in
December 1947. His future wife was
vacationing with her parents. The cou-
ple’s mostly long-distance romance cul-
minated in marriage on Nov. 20, 1948,
in New York. Unable to find a teaching
job, Dave brought Fayga and year-old
daughter Sharon to Detroit.
During Dave’s subsequent career
with Detroit Public Schools, he was a
school administrator and teacher.
Photography was his “side job.” Dave
Dombey Associates and Dombey-
Abrin Associates photographed wed-
dings, bar/bat mitzvahs and commu-
nal events for more than 50 years.
Dave wrote about photography in
Danny Raskin’s JN column (Feb. 12,
2009):
“After receiving my first camera upon
graduation from Durfee Junior High
School, I’d go Downtown to the Fox
and Michigan theaters, photograph the

stage show, hurry home
to process the photos and
return backstage to have
the photos autographed.”
He initially volunteered
his services to fundraising
dinners. Celebrities he
photographed included
President Ronald Reagan,
Sen. Ted Kennedy, Jack
Benny, Bob Hope, Jackie
Mason, Itzhak Perlman
and Barbara Stanwyck.
Dave was proud of
seeing the final games
when the Detroit Tigers won the World
Series at home in 1934, 1935 and 1984.
He watched Israel’s first baseball game
in 1987. Dave also co-chaired a Detroit
group that sponsored the Nemarim
(Tigers) team of Kfar Shmaryahu in the
Israel Association of Baseball.
The Dombeys’ visits to Israel
increased after their two younger chil-
dren made aliyah.
“His kids and grandkids adored him,”
said Doris Werner, Dave’s sister.
“Dad loved doing card tricks and
tricks with coins,” Sharon Baseman
noted. “He was good with little kids.”
David Dombey was father and
father-in-law of Sharon and David
Baseman, Lynn and Rabbi Jason
Meyers, and Miriam Dombey; brother
of Doris Werner; brother-in-law of
Judith Turner. He had 13 grandchil-
dren, numerous great-grandchildren
and other family members.
Husband of the late Fayga, Dave was
father of the late Rabbi Moshe Chaim
Dombey; brother-in-law of the late
Manfred Werner, the late Judge Jerome
Turner and the late Dave Herman.
Interment took place at Eretz
Hachaim Cemetery in Beit Shemesh,
Israel. Contributions may be made to
