Correspondence in Yiddish dates not apparent, folder 1 of 2, undated
Scope and Contents
Goldstein was well known as a public speaker and writer, but relatively few examples of his skill exist in English in this collection. Perhaps 40% of this collection is in Yiddish, including most of the examples of Goldstein's writing abilities. The collection gives a behind-the-scenes look at various internal policy issues that occasionally gripped the ZOA and other major organizations. As a friend of national figures and a man trusted for his integrity, Goldstein was privy to some of these conflicts. The collection also contains a large body of news clippings on local Zionist activity; these clippings include substantial information on other prominent Zionists in the area. Unfortunately, however, Goldstein did not include the dates of many of the articles that he saved.
