ACCEDER Hebrew Free Loan
By Nicole Grouman
Gustavo is a tall, robust man with a beard and a
Kipa. As you walk into his kosher restaurant you can smell
the delicious homemade typical Sephardic falafel, lajmayim,
salads and other delicatessen. This restaurant has a rich 70
year history, it’s situated in Tucuman 2620 in the heart of
“Once”, a notorious Jewish neighbourhood. A rabbi
approached Gustavo to reopen the place. The problem was
he didn’t have enough money and was already working
managing a kiosk. Nevertheless, he felt it was his calling and
decided to contact ACCEDER to realize his dream.
“I went to Israel when I was 19 years old. I lived in a Kibbutz for
many years. I also went to the army and worked in USA. Then I
came back to Argentina where I worked as a bank manager. I
also opened a chain of kiosks with a friend.
He explains why he contacted ACCEDER.
“Well, I needed financial help a year ago and I thought it was it
was a good option since this loan doesn’t come with interest.
Also, they gave me a reasonable pay off period. I was starting a
new endeavour; I wanted to open my own kosher restaurant.”
“The process of getting the loan was very pleasant and simple. I
needed guarantors and so I contacted a group of friends from
primary school which was very fun. We opened a week ago. The
restaurant’s been in the neighbourhood for seventy years. The
grandfather of a friend of mine founded it and then they closed
it. A Rabbi from the Sephardic community asked me if I could
reopen it. So we had to modernize it, to revive the place”.
“We serve typical Sephardic kosher food. We have falafel,
salads, etc. The process is very simple to cook. We named it
El Jaial because I’m known by that name. I went to a Jewish
seminar and I told them a personal story when I was in the
Israeli army.
As Gustavo prepared a delicious falafel sandwich, with
mouth watering ingredients he looked at us and with a great
big smile full of appreciation said, “I want to thank the Hebrew
Free Loan of Argentina for the loan I got, because of that I was
able to fulfil my dream.”
