Levins' Commitment Will Ensure a Strong Future for the Adath
In Jewish tradition we are taught to make the world a better place for those who follow. Jules (z"l) and Rose Levin (z"l) understand this concept and have made it a central focus of their lives.
Dedicated members of Adath Jeshurun, the Levins joined the congregation in 1954. Jules has served on the synagogue Board of Trustees since 1967. He served as Men's Club president, was president of the congregation from 1975 to 1977, co-chaired the fundraising effort for the new building that opened in 1995 and served on the Board of the Adath Jeshurun Foundation. He has also taken leadership roles serving the broader Jewish community. Rose has been a vice president of Adath Jeshurun Women's League and a dedicated volunteer for Hadassah and the Minneapolis Jewish Federation. |
Jules worked as a partner in the Embers restaurant chain serving Minnesota and surrounding states. Rose focused on homemaking and worked for Embers as its bookkeeper for its first several years of business.
The Levins consistently stressed the importance of Judaism and the synagogue with their two daughters. Until her passing, Rose proudly noted, each of the couple's three granddaughters have included Jewish studies as a major part of their college studies.
"Charitable giving has always been important to us, and we wanted to pass along our commitment to Judaism to our children and grandchildren," Rose said. Jules felt that the synagogue is the cohesive force that keeps Judaism together and that working for the Adath and other Jewish organizations has given him an education and a better understanding of the Jewish people.
The Levins used an affordable way to make a commitment to Adath, along with several other Jewish organizations in which they have played an active role over the years. Bequests were made to a few organizations; others were designated as beneficiaries of a life insurance policy. The tax savings of such a plan have enabled them to make gifts considerably in excess of the actual cost of the insurance premiums.
Jules and Rose Levin's generosity toward Adath and our community is greatly appreciated and will perpetuate the organizations in which they served by touching the lives of future generations.
