Interest-free Israeli Assistance Loans up to $20,000
Our Israeli Assistance loans are available to help family and friends with humanitarian needs caused by the war in Israel. These funds are available to Jewish residents of Northern California who need help to support their loved ones impacted by the devastating events taking place in Israel.
Funds may be used for food, housing, transportation, or other humanitarian needs related to the war. Select Disaster Relief on our application form, and a loan officer will work with you to see how we can be most helpful.

Hebrew Free Loan’s Model
Hebrew Free Loan is based on principles found in the Torah, in which we are commanded not to derive personal benefit — i.e. not to charge interest — when we lend money to assist those in need. Click here to watch a short video about Parashat Mishpatim, the Torah section that contains these teachings.
We’ve proven the success of our model with a repayment rate of over 99.5%. That’s the beauty of interest-free lending. As loans are repaid, funds are recycled to make new loans. Many loan recipients also participate in our Full Circle Club, in which former borrowers pay forward the help they received by donating to Hebrew Free Loan to help the next person in need.
