2,000 years ago, Irving had a chain of restaurants from Jerusalem to Nazareth, and from Haifa to Be'er Sheva known as Irving's Famous Deli.
His schedule was intense, and there came a time when Irving needed to travel for a month. He called in his two sons and daughter, telling them:
"I'm going to give each of you 10,000 shekels, and when I return, we will measure how wisely you invested that money."
