JEWISH FREE LOAN of GREATER PHOENIX

For nearly 65 years, Jewish Free Loan (JFL) has provided Jewish Arizonans with interest-free loans to enhance their quality of life. Since the organization’s inception, thousands of individuals and families have been able to continue their education, travel to Israel, start a business, tend to medical/dental needs, experience Jewish summer camp, adopt a child, provide a loved one with a Jewish burial, avoid eviction and navigate numerous other life experiences without the worry or burden of compounding interest from traditional loans. 

The mandate for JFL’s work can be found in Parshat Mishpatim, Exodus 22:24 – “Thou shalt not exact interest from the needy among you.”  As a nonprofit, the ability for Jewish Free Loan to fulfill this biblical directive is dependent upon the generosity of donors who support the organization’s efforts.
