Providing zero interest loans to the Jewish community of Greater North Texas since 1935. Always zero interest and always handled with the utmost confidentiality and respect.
A Message from President Mike Radoff to our Jewish Community
As we enter the 90th year of our existence, the Dallas Hebrew Free Loan Association (DHFLA) continues to serve the Greater North Texas Jewish Community by providing interest‐free loans to community members in need.
The maximum loan available 90 years ago was $10. We now offer Higher Education loans up to a total of $32,000 over eight semesters. In 1935, $132 was made available for these $10 loans. Today we have nearly $2,000,000 in total assets, including loans outstanding over $1,350,000.
My two years as president of DHFLA have been extremely rewarding. Over that time, DHFLA provided approximately 70 new loans with a principal value of almost $600,000. This would not have been possible without the support of our donors, board members and volunteers.
I hope you will join me to celebrate DHFLA’s success on May 7, 2025 at our 90th anniversary exhibit and Zeroes are Heroes event.
I’m excited to pass the proverbial baton to our incoming president, Alan Tolmas. I’m confident Alan will lead our organization zealously as we head to our 100th anniversary.
Mike Radoff, President
