Not sure what to say?

he totally kept me from falling off the rails when i was seventeen and welcomed me into his family each week..............i am now a hospice nurse and still welcome the grounding i got into ethics and caring..............

Rabbi Goldstein was astute in his views on life and his insight and kindness will be missed by me and my family. Thank you for providing years of thought and guidance to our temple even in retirement. I remember you boldly saying, "Life is a journey and death a destination."

My sincere condolences to his family, Marcia Levine, and Rabbi Emily Lipof, his protege at Ohabei Shalom. His unique voice and powerful deliverance of sermon and prayer will live in my memory. He was my Rabbi during my formative years. I was always in awe of his depth of knowledge and ease of explanation when questions were asked. He loved to teach. My fondest memories as a child in synagogue were of Cantor Zimmer's operatic voice along with Rabbi Goldstein's "fire and brimstone" punctuated...

Rabbi Goldstein brought tremendous spirit, intellect, wit, debate and personal opinion to his annual talk with the Brotherhood of Temple Ohabei Shalom through his 98th year.

We miss him for so much that he has brought to us all and will notice the absence of his participation at Kol Nidre services in two days.
My heart felt condolences to Rabbi Goldstein's family and to Marcia especially.

On behalf of the extended Langer family, I send my heartfelt condolences to my Langer-Hoffner-Goldstein cousins on the passing of the patriarch of their family, Rabbi Albert Goldstein, Zichrono Livracha.
