I rise today to pay tribute to the Hebrew Free Loan Society. which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. For the past century. the Hebrew Free Loan Society. which is located in my congressional district. has followed the ageold guiding principle of helping others to help themselves. Following this credo. the Society offers aid in the form of interest freeloans to immigrants from all over the world. and to descendants of immigrants so that they can continue to contribute to the vitality and vibrancy of the United States. Over 1 million loans totalling more than $117 million have been granted. no strings attached. since the society was founded in 1892. With these loans. the Hebrew Free Loan Society has contributed to the financial stability and dignity of the people of the New York metropolitan area.
