The original deli is still in Ann Arbor
on Detroit Street, but Zingerman’s is now
a major enterprise. In 2016, the company
includes a creamery, bake house, coffee
company, candy shop, restaurants, a farm,
catering services, ZingTrain customer-
service training and a huge mail-order
business. But, Zingerman’s still follows its
original mission: to make the best food
possible, whether a grilled cheese sand-
wich or a loaf of rye bread. And, to do so,
Zingerman’s reaches around the world
seeking unique ingredients.
But back to the Zingerman’s partners
An energetic professional business
builder on his own, Jon Dwoskin
became a volunteer mentor to loan
recipients of Hebrew Free Loan’s
Marvin I. Danto Small Business
Loan Program even before he
joined HFL’s Adjunct Committee.
“I was intrigued from the start,”
Jon said. “The minute I heard about
HFL, I wanted to be part of it. HFL
echoes my belief system: not just
lending money without interest,
which is important, but Jews helping
Jews, guiding someone onto a
smoother path. That’s why it was
founded.”
Jon takes his role as a mentor to
HFL business loan recipients just
as seriously as he would with a
paying client. “They do all the hard
work, but I’m good at visualizing
where their business is going and
aligning their acts with their values.
I advise them as if I have a vested
interest in their success, which I
do. Everyone does. When Jewish
businesses thrive, we all thrive.”
Whether he’s acting as advisor to
someone with a business loan, or
interviewing loan applicants for
other purposes, Jon’s heart is in it.
“It’s fulfilling to be here for others.
People may not be aware of every-
thing HFL does, or how it works, but
that’s probably because they don’t
need us just yet. No one knows
when something might come up. In
the meantime, HFL continues on,
generations after its founding,
guided by dynamic, hands-on
Board members who want to help
others and pay it forward. Whether
it’s for business or education or a
family in need, they’re here.”

esterday, I was honored to
attend a partners meeting at
one of the most innovative busi-
nesses in America: Zingerman’s Deli.
Noting that Ann Arbor lacked a good
Jewish deli, in 1982, Ari Weinzweig and
Paul Saginaw opened Zingerman’s. They
began serving a lot of good old-fashioned
Jewish dishes such as knishes, blintzes,
chicken soup, chopped liver and kugel, as
well as sandwiches and other foods.
I found this interesting piece about the
early history of Zingerman’s in the July 1,
1988, issue of the JN.
My
Story
meeting. While I am extremely impressed
with the ideas, the innovations and the
commitment to success, I must also admit
that one of the best parts of the meeting
was the tasty Zingerman’s lunch!
Oh, and just so you know — there
is no one named Zingerman behind
Zingerman’s.

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.
