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
