Irvin J. Borowsky, Founder of North American Publishing Co., Dies at 90

Borowsky stepped away from the company in the early 1980s, devoting his primary energies to philanthropy. For several years he served as president of the Jewish Exponent, the newspaper that has served the Philadelphia Jewish community for more than 100 years. For the Federation of Jewish Charities, he became chairman of the printing and publishing divisions. Borowsky also made many visits to Israel, notably during the Yom Kippur War and, on later occasions, for meetings with that nation’s leadership.
