From Where I Stand

I have known Reb Yossy for many years as a gifted speaker and
outstanding orator. He is a master at relating the Parsha to the
contemporary scene and Jewish life today. Fluid and fascinating,
riveting and relevant... succor for the soul.From the Foreword by Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, Israel
Rabbi Yossy Goldman leads Johannesburg s Sydenham Highlands North Hebrew Congregation, one of the great synagogues of the English-speaking world. Rabbi Yossy is a rare and special talent. I remember vividly our first meeting, more than twenty five years ago, in his capacity as a Jewish radio producer. I was struck then by his energy and drive, his great gifts as a communicator, his seemingly effortless ability to connect Jews and Judaism and to make the ancient teachings of our faith accessible, relevant, contemporary and compelling. I loved his combination of learning, humanity, and a sense of humour.
I remember how blessed South African Jewry was to have such a man in its midst.
