Project:

Shmittah, which will be in its seven-year sabbatical cycle, come this 5782, calls for our tradition as Jews to forgive loans to fellow Jews

Goal:

We aim to forgive a select group of loans through this dedicated program in 5782.

How you can help:

In 2020, JELF partnered with a philanthropic foundation to forgive the loans of a select group of deserving JELF borrowers who were identified as among those most in need during COVID. This experience inspired JELF to recognize that we can continue to make a difference by forgiving the loans of more deserving borrowers
