Early lifeMeir attended Yeshivas Rabbi Jacob Joseph (RJJ)[2] on the Lower East Side. He went on to attend Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem and was a student of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein.[3][4] ArtScrollAfter graduation, Zlotowitz became director of a high-end graphics studio in New York.[4] The firm, named ArtScroll Studios,[6] produced brochures,[5] invitations, awards and ketubahs.[6] Rabbi Nosson Scherman, then principal of Yeshiva Karlin Stolin Boro Park,[6] was recommended to Zlotowitz as someone who could write copy, and they collaborated on a few projects.[6] In late 1975 he wrote an English translation and commentary on the Book of Esther in memory of a young married friend,[11][7] a rebbe in Yeshiva Torah Emes[8] who died childless,[9] and asked Scherman[11][10] to write the introduction.[11] The manuscript was completed in honor of the shloshim (the 30-day commemoration of a death)[12] and "was published in February 1976, just in time to market it for Purim that year."[8] Its first edition of 20,000 copies sold out within two months.[13] With the encouragement of Rabbi Moses Feinstein, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky, and other Gedolei Yisrael, the two continued producing commentaries, beginning with a translation and commentary on the rest of the Five Megillot (Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations and Ruth),[14] and went on to publish translations and commentaries on the Torah, Prophets, Talmud, Passover Haggadah, siddurs and machzors. By 1990 ArtScroll had produced more than 700 books, including novels, history books, children's books and secular textbooks,[4] and became one of the largest publishers of Jewish books in the United States.[5] Zlotowitz was also chairman of the Mesorah Heritage Foundation,[15] ArtScroll's fundraising arm.[13] Zlotowitz died in Brooklyn on June 24, 2017 at the age of 73.[16][1] By the end of the year of mourning for a parent, Meir's son Gedaliah FamilyZlotowitz was married to Rachel and had four sons and four daughters.[9] His son Ira Zlotowitz, is founder and President of Eastern Union Funding, a commercial real estate mortgage brokerage in New York City.[18][19] His brother, Bernard, was a leading rabbi in the Reform Jewish movement in USA, and had originally attended Yeshiva Torah Vodaas.[20][21] Selected bibliographyUntil the passing of Meir, Zlotowitz and Scherman were the general editors of ArtScroll's Talmud, Chumash, Tanakh, Siddur, and Machzor series. They co-authored Megillas Esther: Illustrated Youth Edition (1988), a pocket-size Mincha/Maariv prayerbook (1991), and Selichos: First Night (1992).[34] They have also produced a host of titles on which Scherman is author and Zlotowitz is editor.
