                        TRIBUTE TO RABBI GOLDMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BILL PASCRELL, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 29, 1997

  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your attention 
Rabbi Goldman of Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel of South Orange, NJ.
  Rabbi Goldman has been the rabbi of Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel for 
more than 12 years. He received his doctorate of ministry from Colgate 
College and his doctorate of divinity from Hebrew Union College and has 
served as a rabbi since 1966.
  Rabbi Goldman has always worked toward the fulfillment of his 
beliefs. An activist in the crusade for civil rights, Rabbi Goldman was 
imprisoned for his social activism as he marched side by side with the 
late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He also made his mark as a 
speech writer, contributing inspired prose for both the late Senator 
Robert Kennedy and President Carter.
  Beyond his oratory abilities, which he used both in government 
service and from the pulpit, Rabbi Goldman has a doctorate in family 
therapy and is a clinical member of the Association of Marriage and 
Family Therapists. He is also a member of the American Association of 
Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists and a clinical member of the 
American Association of Hypnotherapists.
  Rabbi Goldman has served on the executive board of the National 
Jewish Relations Advisory Council [NJRAC] and is a board member of the 
African-American/Jewish Coalition. He is a member of the BioEthics 
Committee at Beth Israel Hospital in Newark. On April 16, 1997, Rabbi 
Goldman will be a panelist for the Nationwide Bereavement 
Teleconference, hosted by Cokie Roberts. He originated and facilitates 
their HEAL--Handling Emotions After a Loss--group.
  He is listed in Who's Who in Religion, the International Who's Who of 
Intellectuals, Who's Who in World Jewry, Who's Who in the World, and 
Who's Who in America. The rabbi is also listed in Community Leaders of 
America.
  Rabbi Goldman is happily married to his wife Judi. Their children 
Harlan, Darren, and Jordan Heiber, and Joel, Karen, and Steve Goldman, 
Steve's wife, Dee Dee and their granddaughter, Sarah are all a source 
of pride and joy.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Rabbi Goldman's 
family and friends, and the congregation of Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel 
in recognizing the outstanding and invaluable service to the community 
of Rabbi Goldman.
