The Man Behind Artscroll


The man behind Artscroll, Rabbi Nosson Scherman, is interviewed by the Jewish Press (Online Version). Interesting questions asked in the interview include "Why no mention of Chabad or Rav Kook", "Do Artscroll white wash the Gedolim", etc. I felt the questions were all answered fairly, even if one does not agree with the answers given.

We all owe a great deal of gratitude to the phenomenal accomplishments of the Artscroll company and I for one pray for much success in their endeavors. There is what to critique, as with everything, but I really feel their achievements far outweigh their flaws. Enjoy the article!
