Our problem was, much of the money was pledged, but we needed “real” money for the actual building purchase, the renovations, and the move. We needed a source of funds for a short-term loan that would not add additional costs to the Temple. Fortunately, one of our Board members knew of HFL, and suggested we explore that as an option.” Hebrew Free Loan’s Michigan Jewish Organization Loan Program (MJOLP) stepped into the breach. The fund was launched in 2017, in partnership with a generous matching grant from The Ravitz Foundation, and provides interest-free loans of up to $100,000 to qualifying Michigan synagogues and Jewish organizations that primarily or solely serve Jewish clients. “Seemingly magically, we had an interest-free, short- term loan, which allowed us to move into our new-to- us one hundred-year-old building,” Cary said. “The process of getting the loan was so simple that now, four years later, I don’t even recall the process. It was that easy. We are very grateful to HFL and the opportunity they allowed us to pursue.” Community donations help Hebrew Free Loan give interest-free loans to local Jews for a variety of personal, health, educational and small business needs.
