The story · English

Direct Finance Mortgages, a leading Israeli mortgage company, hosted a prestigious "Hatimah Tovah" (Good Signature) event at the Barkan Wineries to mark a year of professional collaboration and success with dozens of senior Haredi mortgage advisors. The event, held in a festive atmosphere ahead of the new Jewish year, featured addresses from company executives including CEO Shmulik Bar Chen, VP of Sales Shahar Azaria, VP of Underwriting Ronen Kamchi, and Director of the Haredi Sector David Kraif.

Company leaders expressed gratitude to the advisors for their trust, commitment, and partnership throughout the past year, outlining plans for continued growth and collaboration. CEO Shmulik Bar Chen specifically commended David Kraif for his talent, performance, and contribution to strengthening professional and personal relationships with advisors in the Haredi sector.

The evening included a high-end culinary experience curated by Chef Rivi Bard, featuring a gourmet meat meal and a rich cocktail and alcohol bar. Attendees also received a special gift. The entertainment featured a musical performance by Shimi Lipschitz followed by a concert by singer Ari Hill, accompanied by an orchestra, with songs evoking the themes of the High Holy Days.

The "Hatimah Tovah" event was meticulously planned, reflecting Direct Finance Mortgages' commitment to its professional relationships. The company aimed to acknowledge and appreciate the partnerships with advisors, which it credits for driving the company to new heights annually.
