Melissa’s mother Cindy 
Bolokofsky and sister 
Cathy Prue also made the 
trip to Israel from their 
homes in North Carolina 
and Florida, respectively.
Sully made it to all three 
of the Detroit hockey 
team’s practices at the 
Farmington Hills Ice 
Arena before the Maccabi 
Games and the one 
practice in Israel.
“I could tell from 
the first practice in 
Farmington Hills that Sully 
was going to be a better 

player for being on that 
team,” Melissa said. 
Detroit is hosting the 
Maccabi Games this 
summer. Sully plans to be 
there, once again playing 
hockey for Detroit.
A friend from Canada 
was glad to hear that.
“We’ll have a hockey 
team in Detroit. I hope 
to see Sully there,” Hersh 
said.

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

When people consider Hebrew Free Loan’s 
involvement in our state’s Jewish community, they 
tend to think first of personal loans, college loans, 
or our small business loans. What many don’t realize 
is that HFL also uplifts Jewish life in Michigan by 
supporting Jewish organizations like Isaac Agree 
Downtown Synagogue in Detroit, Temple B’nai Israel of 
Petoskey, Temple Beth Sholom of Marquette, and Jewish 
Family Services of Ann Arbor. 
Many of our cherished Michigan agencies and 
institutions have been able to make changes, 
upgrades and expansions with the support of 
Hebrew Free Loan’s Michigan Jewish Organization Loan 
Program. Launched in 2018 in partnership with 
the Ravitz Foundation, the fund can offer loans of 
up to $100,000 to help some of our community’s 
facilities cross the finish line when it comes to 
funding capital improvements or capacity-building 
programs.
