Irving I. Stone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To be distinguished from Irving Stone the novelist

Irving I. Stone (1909 in Cleveland – January 19, 2000) (born Sapirstein) was an American philanthropist, businessman, and founder-chairman of American Greetings,[1] which was founded by his father Jacob Sapirstein.

He was a longtime Cleveland, Ohio resident and generous benefactor of its many institutions both Jewish and otherwise. The Jerusalem suburb of Telz-Stone is named in his honor. Among the causes the Stones supported were Yeshiva University and the Chinuch Atzmai Torah schools in Israel.[2]

The Stone Chumash and Stone Tanach

The Stones were benefactors of the ArtScroll editions of the Chumash and Tanakh which bear their name. These versions differ from, for example, Jewish Publication Society in several ways, including with transliterations of many Hebrew terms rather than translation into English, and a largely Ashkenazi Haredi spelling of this transliteration.[3] The Stones supported projects under the guidance of rabbi Nachum Zev Dessler, in Cleveland.[4]
