Sid spent most of his life in Central Texas where he and his brother owned and operated a number of mens clothing stores. They sold their business in 1964 and Sid moved to Dallas.

DHFLA on Shabbat Mishpatim

Members of the DHFLA Board spread awareness about the organization and its interest free loan programs during Shabbat Mishpatim Services in Area Synagogues on the weekend of February 2nd.

Mishpatim is a section in the Book of Exodus which directs Jews to "not extract interest from the needy."

This particular Biblical injunction has guided the Dallas Hebrew Free Loan Association in helping Jews in the community to remain self-supporting, while maintaining their self-respect.
