In 1931, Emmanuel broke with Aftimios and rejoined the Russian Metropolia, taking Aftimios's previous episcopal see of Brooklyn at the appointment of [[Metropolitan]] [[Platon (Rozhdestvensky) of New York]].
In addition to his efforts organizing the churches of the Syrian mission, Bp. Emmanuel was the editor of the mission publication ''Al Kalimat'' (now ''[[The Word (magazine)|The Word Magazine]]'').
Bp. Emmanuel reposed on [[May 29]], 1933, and the remaining Syrian parishes under the Russians were released to the [[Church of Antioch]]. His body was later moved to the [[Antiochian Village]] in Ligonier, Pennsylvania where he is buried in the same grave as St. Raphael of Brooklyn.
