his month marks 30 years since
the passing of Bee Schrier Kalt, a
business icon in the Detroit Jewish
community. Kalt was born in Poland and
came to Detroit with her parents as a
child. She graduated from Detroit's High
School of Commerce in 1927.
In 1959, Kalt became a female entre-
preneur during an era when only a few
women held such roles: She established
her own business — a travel agency. Kalt
soon became one of the most respected
agents in the industry, specializing in
cruises before that kind of vacation
travel became commonplace.
Bee Kalt Travel advertised exten-
sively in the Jewish News for decades
and was a popular agency within
Detroit's Jewish community. Her busi-
ness flourished and grew to include her
sons. Today, the Kalt family still operates
the agency Bee Kalt started more than
50 years ago. A determined and talented
woman, Kalt broke the "glass ceiling" long
before this metaphor for the obstacles
women faced when pursuing advance-

Steve Ingber has a busy life. He runs
a business, helps parent four kids,
and so he searched carefully for the
right place to give his time.
"Hebrew Free Loan and I are a
good fit for each other," Steve said.
"This agency helps people without a
lot of red tape. It's direct, it sets out to
do things one person or one family or
one business at a time, and it's grat-
ifying to help."
Steve also works with the Marvin I.
Danto Small Business Loan Program.
"I've been in the shoes of some of
our borrowers, on the brink of growing
an idea," Steve said. "But there's a
misconception that Danto loans are
just for start-ups. What you have to
be is Jewish, or majority Jewish-
owned, with a dream and a good
plan. That could mean you have an
existing business that could take off
if you invest in new technology, or
expand in new directions with the
help of an interest-free business
loan. The common denominator is
the owners or partners believe in the
idea and do their homework.
"I think people will always need
someone who believes in them and
will invest in their future. I enjoy see-
ing people move forward. It's
rewarding to be part of that."

Hebrew Free Loan gives interest-

community for a variety of

entirely through community
donations which continually
recycle to others, generating
many times the original value
to help maintain the lives of
local Jews.
