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.
”
