I rise today to honor the Hebrew Free Loan Society of New York for its contribution to the financial security of the city of New York and its surrounding counties for the past 100 years. I wish to commend the work that this society is doing to restore dignity to their less fortunate neighbors. The Hebrew Free Loan Society. during its century of service. has extended more than $1 million in loans to immigrants of all races and creeds. The society has based its organization on the central principle that we must help others to help themselves. In this way. one is ensuring not only the financial stability of the other. but also preserving ones selfrespect and selfdependency. In a rapidly changing society. increasing numbers of people are emigrating to the United States every year. Each seeks the American dream. Organizations like the Hebrew Free Loan Society help immigrants in America. the land of opportunity. The United States was founded by men and women seeking the same opportunities as immigrants do today. They work hard to fulfill their dreams but they need a helping hand from those that have already accomplished their goals. These struggling individuals deserve the same opportunities that our ancestors had over the decades and the Hebrew Free Loan Society has understood this. As the grandson of immigrants. I know the value of having friends to lend a hand when someone is in need. I have always been a firm believer in the principle of helping others to help themselves. so I am particularly appreciative and supportive of the work that the Hebrew Free Loan Society is doing. It is important for new immigrants in the United States to know that they are not alone. The receipt of interestfree loans from this unique organization enables people to start new lives with dignity. This country was built through the hard work of immigrants and we must not forget that. It is important to recognize the Hebrew Free Loan Society as an organization that seeks to provide assistance in a spirit of dignity through loans and service. Thus.
