 Series

Scope and Contents

This series concerns DDS's charitable and philanthropic activities. Of particular note is the list of military equipment sent to Israel in 1948 with DDS's assistance. Also included here is material on the Stone Charitable Foundation, which made contributions to a wide variety of organizations, ranging from Noemi Aid for Jewish Children to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. An anniversary book for the Zionist House of Boston is also located here. DDS was one of the founders of this organization, which aided people in Israel and also offered assistance to Israeli students in Massachusetts, by establishing an Israel Student Service program, to provide medical, educational, and cultural aid to students and their families. This series also includes material on the contributions DDS and his brother Harry made to Boston University, and on the Stone Administration Building at the Weizmann Institute.
