Shaarey Zedek's Men's Club 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.

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.

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.
