Through the Centennial Fund,
Lynne and Jerry Levine
Honor the Memory of Rose and Yale Ginsburg
Honest.
Hardworking.
Humble.
Kind.
These are a few
of the words Lynne Levine uses to describe her parents,
Rose (z”l) and Yale (z”l) Ginsburg.
Longtime Detroiters,
Rose and Yale were arts enthusiasts who also loved to
travel,
often taking Lynne and her three sisters on
journeys she remembers as “
classrooms on the go.
”
Above all,
however,
the couple were generous.
“My
parents felt strongly about giving to the Detroit Jewish
community,
” Lynne says,
“but it was always done
anonymously.
That is one reason why I want them to be
recognized now.
” With their commitment to Federation’s
Centennial Fund,
Lynne and her husband,
Jerry,
offer a
loving tribute to her parents' memory.
The Centennial Fund is the central campaign for
ensuring the long-term security of Jewish Detroit.
For
their gift,
the Levines have chosen to create a Perpetual
Annual Campaign Endowment (PACE),
a fund which
offers future community leaders the flexibility to meet
the most pressing needs of the day.
As Lynne notes,
this is in keeping with Rose and Yale’s values and
aspirations.
“Knowing my parents,
I believe they would
like to see the Jewish population of greater Detroit
continue to thrive in harmony and have emergency
assistance available to everyone in need.
” Lynne and
Jerry are happy to see the funds being used to support
the city they will always call home—a place where
Rose and Yale’s memory will continue to live on.
“Compassionate and empathetic,
” she says,
as she
rounds out her description of them.
“I will be forever
grateful for the incredible life they gave us.
”
