Ralph Goldman Dies At 100

JNS.org

R

alph I. Goldman— a leader
of the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee (JDC)
and a close confidant of Israel's first prime
minister, David Ben-Gurion — died at the
age of 100 in Jerusalem, on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
"The profound sadness and deep sense
of loss we feel today is indescribable:
Ralph Goldman was a giant among Jewish
leaders, dedicating his life and career to
strengthening Israel and to ensuring the
survival and vibrancy of Jewish people
and communities worldwide said JDC
President Penny Blumenstein and CEO
Alan H. Gill in a statement.
"A cornerstone of JDC's global opera-
tions for more than four decades, Ralph
was an iconic and transformative figure
who embodied the notion that all 'Jews
are responsible for one another' through-
out his long and extraordinary life," they
added.
Born in Ukraine, Goldman immigrated
to the U.S. and became involved in Zionist
activities, joining the New York City branch

of the Haganah,
the pre-1948 Israeli
military group. He
served in the U.S.
Army during World
War II, and helped
displaced Jews after
the Holocaust. Later,
Ralph Goldman
Goldman helped
recruit know-how
and funding for the nascent state of Israel.
He served as Ben-Gurion's representative at
the Israeli consulate in New York and was
in charge of the prime minister's first state
visit to the U.S.
Goldman, who first became involved
with JDC in 1968 and was its honorary
executive vice president, is the recipient
of the French Legion of Honor and other
awards, and established the JDC Entwine
Ralph I. Goldman Fellowship for the men-
toning of Jewish communal leaders.
"[Goldman's] passing leaves a tremen-
dous void, but also a priceless legacy that
will sustain JDC, Israel and the Jewish
world well into the future Blumenstein
and Gill said.
