Hebrew Free Loan Detroit

6735 Telegraph Road, Suite 300 • Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48301

@HFLDetroit

While in his last year of college, Jon Berman was
looking with concern at the balance in his college fund.
“I was fortunate to grow up in a family that helped me
establish that college fund, because at home, we tended to
frown on debt,” Jon said. “As a result, I’m pretty
squeamish about that kind of financial obligation.
However, I needed to finish undergrad, and I was short.
So when a friend mentioned Hebrew Free Loan as a
source for interest-free money for college, and then my
grandmother also mentioned HFL, I looked into it.”
Jon went to the HFL website and learned about the
agency’s William Davidson Jewish College
Loan Program. “I applied, but I didn’t expect to be
helped,” Jon said. “At the time, I wasn’t sure if there was
a level of ‘Jewish enough’ that I would have to meet in
order to get money from a Jewish agency. Also, I was at
the end of my undergrad experience, not the beginning,
and I didn’t know if that mattered. None of that factored
in at all, but still I felt it necessary to package myself to
them as a good investment: a person with a good intern-
ship, and great post-graduation prospects. Hebrew Free
Loan just looked at me as a person who had a need,
and they worked with me.”
Jon, who majored in physics and math, graduated
and went on to become a data scientist, a job that
allows him to work with the numbers he enjoys. He also
repaid his HFL loan as quickly as he could.
“HFL helped me, and I was grateful for it,” Jon said.
“I also learned that it’s the borrower loan payments that
return to HFL and combine into fresh loan capital and
then allow new loans to be made. It really opened my
eyes that my loan payments could help the next person.
It’s a group effort – community for the community.”

Community donations help Hebrew Free Loan give
interest-free loans to local Jews for a variety of personal,
health, educational and small business needs.
