Mike Smith Detroit Jewish News Foundation Archivist B new owners, the Book Brothers, reopened the hotel as the Book-Cadillac in 1924. It was the tallest hotel in the world at the time. For many years, it remained the finest and most famous hotel in Detroit. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, the hotel struggled. It closed its doors in 1984 and remained empty for 24 years. But, in 2008, the Book Cadillac was refurbished and reopened with great fanfare. Today, it is still the hotel for famous visitors to the city. In 1922, however, you could still dance without a cover charge … after Barbara Zaltz is a newer addition to the Hebrew Free Loan Board, but her history with the agency goes back to her childhood. Her father, Emery Klein (z’l), was a past president and longtime Board member. “I have very clear memories of HFL from when I was growing up,” Barbara said. “On Sundays, I would come home from Hebrew school at the same time my dad was getting home from borrower interviews. Often, he would get emotional as he shared, very generally of course, the issues that had come up in the interviews that day and how HFL had provided assistance. I always knew that HFL was a resource that people in our community could turn to in a time of need.” Years later, Barbara is repeating the process with her own kids. “I tell my daughters that it’s not a choice – it’s a responsibility to help our fellow Jews. Being on the HFL Board allows me to have direct contact with the community. It’s a human connection and an understanding of who benefits from my involvement. I know that HFL loans through our 120 years have supported some of today’s well- known businesses and families. All because of an investment in people. With a 98.5% repayment rate on our loans, we’ve created a continuous cycle of good.” Barbara believes her Hebrew Free Loan involvement connects her to her father. “It’s an incredible legacy, and I definitely think he would be proud that I’m following in his footsteps.” Become an HFL Donor.

I saw this adver- tisement in the July 7, 1922, Jewish Chronicle and began to wonder about the history of the hotel. This was the era of the “Roaring 20s.” The Cadillac Hotel first opened in 1888 on Washington Boulevard. By 1891, it was one of the best hotels in Detroit and boasted such guests as Presidents William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. After razing the building in 1923, the My Story Hebrew Free Loan gives interest- free loans to members of our community for a variety of personal and small business needs. HFL loans are funded entirely through community donations which continually recycle to others, generating many times the original value to help maintain the lives of local Jews. midnight!
