“Baruch Dayan HaEmet" (Blessed is the Judge of Truth) is traditionally what we say when we learn of someone's death.

Steven Eric Goldman, husband of Shelly Aronson Goldman (daughter of Judy and Arthur Aronson) passed away on Sunday, July 19th in Texas due to complex medical complications. Steven is survived by Shelly and 3 daughters: Samantha Goldman-Moore (Alex), Sydney Goldman (significant other Shamus Holcomb), and Shauna Gentry (Chris) and 2 grandchildren: Nathan & Luna Gentry. A graveside funeral will take place on Friday, July 24, 2026 at 10 am at Temple Sinai Cemetery, 2420 Route 302, Circleville, NY 10919.

Congregation Shaaray Tefila and Sisterhood extend deepest sympathy on the passing of Steven to all his family and friends.

May the Source of Healing comfort the bereaved, together with the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and all who mourn.
