Hebrew Free Loan: Helping
Waves of Jewish Immigrants

The Hebrew Free Loan
Association, the oldest con-
tinuous charitable organ-
ization in the Detroit
Jewish community, has met
and serviced every major
wave of immigration since
the 1890's. It is doing it once
again with the Russians
who are arriving in ever in-
creasing numbers.
With each wave of immi-
gration in the past, whether
East European or German
or Hungarian, the needs of
the immigrants were prac-
tically the same. Merchan-

Yeshiva Friends
Dinner Is Near

Merrill Gordon, promi-
nent local businessinan and
communal leader will be
honored by the Detroit
Friends of Yeshiva Univer-
sity at their 22nd Annual
Dinner 6 p.m. May 18 at
Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
The event, which
climaxes a two-month cam-
paign in this area, is being
chaired by Dr. Leon Fill.
Gordon will receive the Dis-
tinguished Service Award
"in recognition of his years
of leadership in the Detroit
community in behalf of
Jewish educational, cul-
tural and philantropic
causes."
University
Yeshiva
Board Chairman Herbert
Tenzer will be the principal
speaker at the dinner.

dise or tools to start a busi-
ness, money for rent or fur-
niture, a dowry or even a
Bar Mitzva.
But the Russians are dif-
ferent. Out of a score of rea-
sons for needing a loan, two
stand out. The second most
common reason for borrow-
ing is for retrieval of bag-
gage. The Russians are com-
ing out with their furniture
intact — a whole houseful of
goods carted up in one huge
wooden crate, larger than
an export container for
automobiles.
The crates arrive on
ships at New York and
New Jersey docks where
they are stored awaiting
notice of final destina-
tion. To pay transoceanic
freight charges, storage
fees and later transporta-
tion to Detroit, the loans
are sometimes as high as
$1,500.

The most common loan, at
least one-third of all loans
made, is for the purchase of
a used car. Such a loan was
unheard of 15 or 20 years
ago. But public transporta-
tion is inadequate, so that a
car is an absolute necessity
to get to and from work.
The predominant skill
among the new arrivals is in
the engineering field, and
their jobs in factories and
machine shops are scattered
all over the metropolitan
area.

side the city of Detroit is iso-
lated without a car.
The first Russian who ar-
rived at the Hebrew Free
Loan office in 1973 bor-
rowed $1,000 for a used car.
In the next two years there
were only 12 loans made to
Russians, but 27 loans were
made in 1977, and so far in
1978 there are 34 loans. The
latest was $1,000 for a used
car.
In the first five years of
the Soviet emigration,
$32,000 was borrowed by
Russians. But the He-
brew Free Loan has dis-
pensed nearly $25,000 in
the first four months of
this year.
Monies have been lent for
various other purposes such
as: car repairs and insur-
ance; security deposits for
apartments and furnish-
ings; down payments on
homes; tuitions for beauty
schools, medical courses
and nursing courses; union
dues; purchases of tools for
work or whole businesses;
and other medical, dental
and emergency needs.

should contact the Hebrew
Free Loan Association in
the United Hebrew Schools
building, 356-5292.
