Temple Beth Emeth

As Chief of Staff of Detroit's VA
Hospital, Dr. Michael Samson felt
honored to care for veterans and
advocate for their issues. "After
retirement I looked for ways to give
back to the community, which I didn't
have time to do while practicing
medicine," Dr. Samson said. "I
learned of Hebrew Free Loan through
a friend who was involved. I immediately
felt connected because the agency's
values parallel my own — the ability
to offer resources to people who
need help."
Dr. Samson joined HFL's Advisory
Council in June, and is impressed
with the impact the agency makes.
"The people we help come to us with
a broad range of concerns," Dr.
Samson said, "but our Board also
comes in with a broad range of
expertise. We are hands-on.
"I think people need to know we
offer loans and financial advice to lift
people up, which is in concert with
Jewish tradition," he said.

Continue the Jewish tradition
of helping our people help
themselves.

Hebrew Free Loan provides interest-
free loans for living expenses,
medical fees and many other
needs: small business start-up
costs, tuition assistance, summer
camp, training, and much more, if
you or someone you know needs
help, please click or call.
