To be distinguished from Irving Stone the novelist

Irving I. Stone (1909 in Cleveland – January 19, 2000) was an American philanthropist, businessman, and founder-chairman of American Greetings,[1]

Irving Saperstein, later Stone, lived in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the founder of the American Greetings Corporation. The Jerusalem suburb of Kiryat Yearim, also known as Telz-Stone, was named in his honor.

Philanthropy

Among the causes supported by Stone were Yeshiva University and the Chinuch Atzmai Torah schools in Israel.[2]They were also benefactors of the ArtScroll editions of the Chumash and Tanakh which bear their name. These versions include transliterations of many Hebrew terms rather than translation into English, and use a largely Ashkenazi Haredi spelling of this transliteration.[3] The Stones supported projects under the guidance of Rabbi Nachum Zev Dessler, in Cleveland.[4] Irving I. Stone was also the main benefactor to Camp Stone, a Zionist summer camp in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania.[5]
