Marquette’s Temple Beth Sholom found itself in a
quandary. 
“We had the opportunity to purchase a building that
could house our congregation closer to our small
Jewish community (which shifted geographically over
the 50 years since we built our first Temple), and which
would be a more glorious home,” said Cary Gottlieb,
Treasurer of Temple Beth Sholom. “We started a capital
campaign and found enough money to make this a
reality. 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.
