"#DollyParton, the #singer who died Tuesday at age 80 after a brief bout with cancer, was mourned around the world as a stellar #songwriter, consummate country hitmaker, savvy #entrepreneur and generous #philanthropist.
In #Jewish circles, she was also remembered as the inspiration for #PJLibrary, a program that sends free children’s #books to Jewish families in order to foster Jewish values and traditions.
In 2015, when #HaroldGrinspoon launched PJ Library, he took a page from #Parton, who a decade earlier had started #ImaginationLibrary, a #literacy program that mails free #childrensbooks to families across the #US.
After hearing Parton interviewed about the program, #Grinspoon, a philanthropist in and out of the Jewish community, signed on as a sponsor of the Imagination Library in Western #Massachusetts, where he lives."

"Most people spend their later years looking back. #HaroldGrinspoon has spent his reinventing himself.
The businessman became a #philanthropist. The philanthropist discovered #Jewish children’s #books and created #PJLibrary. In his late 80s, he became a sculptor after a cherry tree fell in his yard.
Now, as he turns 97, #Grinspoon is reflecting on the unexpected pivots that have defined both his life and his approach to Jewish giving.
Known for innovative programs like PJ Library — which engages young Jewish families with monthly deliveries of age-appropriate #childrensbooks and #music — #Grinspoon and his eponymous foundation have focused on programs that, in the spirit of the real estate business that made his fortune, build Jewish habits, institutions and relationships that he hopes will outlast him."
