Goldin and her husband Levy.
Growing up in Atlanta, Goldin and her family belonged to the largest Conservative synagogue in the south and were active members of their Jewish community. She was engaged in many social activism causes through her synagogue. “That was formative in my youth. And, I think, as I’ve gotten older, the concept of social justice, the commitment to helping others, and understanding our place in the world is certainly framed by Judaism and influences the way I act in this world,” said Goldin.
