Offering interest free loans to members of the Greater Washington DC Jewish community since 1909

The Hebrew Free Loan Association is maintained by the Jewish community of Greater Washington, DC, providing interest-free loans to members of the community, to help them meet their financial needs with dignity. Loans are available for a range of legitimate needs, including, but not limited to, medical bills, emergency bills, and credit card debts. Student loans are available for students in their junior and senior years of college and graduate students. The Hebrew Free Loan Association exists to enable individuals to meet financial challenges and advance their ability to support themselves and their families. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and will gladly accept donations to keep this community resource going.

Thank you to everyone who joined or supported Hebrew Free Loan Association of Greater Washington (HFL) for our Annual Brunch this past Sunday where we honored Miriam & Achi Guggenheim and Naomi and Haim Malka.

It was a room full of great food, old friends, new faces, and a community that shows up for one another.

For more than 100 years, HFL has been a bridge for our neighbors, offering interest-free loans with dignity so people can build what’s next: a business, an education, a fresh start. When a loan is repaid, those same dollars go right back out to help someone else. Your support keeps that cycle going, again and again.

A special thank you to our sponsors, supporters, honorees, speakers, volunteers, caterers, staff at Beth Sholom, and board. We are so grateful.

Swipe through for some of our favorite moments!

Final reminder: tomorrow, Friday, October 9, is the deadline to place your ad in the Hebrew Free Loan Association of Greater Washington (HFL) Annual Brunch journal!

Join us on Sunday, October 25 at 11AM at Beth Sholom Congregation as we honor Miriam & Achi Guggenheim and Naomi & Haim Malka.

An ad is one of the most meaningful ways to be part of the brunch. It puts your name, your family, or your business right alongside our tribute to this year's honorees. Every ad and sponsorship helps fund HFL's interest-free loan programs.

If you've been meaning to reserve your space, now is the moment. Submit your ad by tomorrow and be part of the celebration:

Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the world. There's something hopeful in that: a new year, a blank page, a chance to imagine what comes next.

That hope is what we work toward at Hebrew Free Loan (HFL) all year long, helping families begin. One borrower put it better than we could:

"HFL gave me an opportunity to start a family from which I would have been priced out. The loan is an incredible gift, given with dignity and respect, and I am ever so grateful."

So far this year we've lent over $1.4 million in interest free loans to our community, and none of it happens without you.

If you or someone you know is starting a new chapter this year, please reach out.

Shanah Tovah u'Metukah, a sweet and healthy new year.
