Mesivta of Greater Los Angeles

My name is Shlomo Gottesman. As Head of School and primary fundraiser, I am passionate about ensuring our Yeshiva meets the needs of our students while keeping up with our financial obligations. Like many institutions, it’s a constant balancing act that requires both effort and a measure of Heavenly assistance.

When we were unexpectedly awarded a Security Grant, we faced a new challenge: making the upfront payments and waiting for reimbursements, which placed significant strain on our budget. We even risked losing the grant if we couldn’t show all expenditures by year’s end. Learning about the possibility of a loan from JFLA gave us hope, and we were inspired to apply.

The loan from JFLA bridged the gap, allowing us to meet the spending requirements on time and fully benefit from the grant. For that, we are truly grateful. Thank you, JFLA!
