Emanuel Dines

Emanuel (Manny) Dines was a special person 
in the fi
 eld of social work, whose life is deeply 
etched into my heart. Manny lost his life to ALS 
in mid-February, and I would like to share some of 
his history with the Jewish community that was not 
mentioned at his funeral. Manny was an avid reader 
of current news, including the weekly Jewish News. 
He made sure to share any information he learned 
with people he knew could benefi
 t from it. Manny 
loved sports, particularly college ones. He was 
on the rowing team of the University of Michigan 
when the team made it to the fi
 nals for the fi
 rst 
time. He loved to bicycle and took part a few years in the yearly bicycle run 
sponsored by Jewish Federation. Manny also worked for many years with 
JARC, as his main interest was in social work. Sadly, he never continued his 
learning in Jewish education; however, his ties to the Jewish community of 
Detroit were very strong to the very end of his life. With the help of Rabbi 
Y
erachmiel Rabin of Detroit’s Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network 
putting on tefi
 llin whenever available, he recited the appropriate prayers quite 
well. As his disease advanced, his articulation diminished and he whispered 
to the best of his ability. He tried so hard to connect with G-d as the advance 
of this disease paralyzed his body completely. On behalf of Manny’s family, I 
Susan Dines, Manny’s mother, would like to extend my deepest gratitude for 
the help we have received from the Jewish community, both spiritually and 
emotionally. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Rabbi Y
erachmiel 
Rabin, who has supported the family weekly, sometimes more often, to the 
very end. Gratitude also goes out to other clergy who worked with me and 
Emanuel over the last fi
 ve years, such as Rabbi Dorit Edut, Rabbi Blair 
Nosanwisch, Rabbi Rachel Shere, Cantor Colman Reaboi and Cantor Daniel 
Gross. May the memories of Manny’s life continue to be a blessing for all 
those who knew him and for those who will benefi
 t from the work he did in his 
short life of 50 Y
ears. Written by Susan Dines
