Letter to the Editor: Laura Kahn

Thanks so much Atlanta Jewish Times for your lovely article highlighting the 2021 winners of the annual “She’s a Maccabee” contest, run by the Jewish Interest Free Loan of Atlanta. We are so proud of these women and the contribution they make to the Atlanta Jewish community.

This contest is just one facet of JIFLA’s mission of improving the lives of Jewish women in Atlanta via interest-free lending. JIFLA’s Women’s Empowerment Fund makes loans for uses ranging from basic needs such as paying rent and buying food to helping pay for a professional certification to improve household income. Our goal is to help Jewish women and families thrive!

Wishing our community a 2022 where we are all Maccabees, fighting in ways big and small to ensure a safe, healthy and prosperous year for all.

Laura Kahn, Co-President & Board Chair Jewish Interest Free Loan of Atlanta
