Member Spotlight: Sue and Larry Goldstein

In this edition of Chai Lights, we are excited to spotlight two cherished members of our community, Sue and Larry Goldstein. Their story is one of enduring love, family bonds, and a commitment to giving back.

A Love Story Spanning Six Decades

Sue and Larry Goldstein have been married for an incredible 58 years, celebrating their anniversary on June 12th. They met in their early twenties and have been inseparable ever since. Sue recently celebrated her 80th birthday, a milestone marked by the love of her family and friends. Together, they have three children: Andrew, Michael, and Robert. Their family has grown to include seven grandchildren, all of whom bring immense joy to Sue and Larry’s lives.

A Move to Atlanta

Originally from Staten Island, New York, the Goldsteins moved to Atlanta in 2010. The decision was driven by their desire to be closer to their children and grandchildren, who are also members of CNT. The sense of community and family support was a significant factor in their relocation, and they have never looked back.

Involvement with CNT

The Goldsteins have been proud members of CNT for 14 years. Their dedication to the community is evident through their volunteer work. Sue and Larry have been active in various committees, including the Ritual, Finance, and Building committees. They have also served as librarians for the Religious School and taught Mahjong classes, contributing to the vibrant community life at CNT.

Cherished Memories

When asked about their favorite memories at CNT, Sue and Larry fondly recall watching the children grow up within the community. They cherish the Friday night Shabbat services, socializing at onegs, and the joy of meeting new members. These moments have enriched their lives and strengthened their connection to CNT.

Hobbies and Interests

Sue and Larry lead a fulfilling life with a variety of hobbies. Sue enjoys crocheting, creating beautiful blankets for friends and family. She also loves playing Mahjong. Larry, on the other hand, has a passion for making stained glass. Together, they enjoy tai chi, gardening, and most importantly, spending quality time with their children and grandchildren.

Dreams and Aspirations

If they were to come into a significant amount of money, the Goldsteins would continue their spirit of giving. They would donate to CNT, purchase new furniture, give generous gifts to their children, and perhaps try their luck with lottery tickets. When asked what they would like to be remembered for, Larry hopes to be known as "Mr. Fixit," always helpful, while Sue wishes to be remembered as a nice person and a dedicated volunteer.

Olympic Aspirations

In a fun twist, we asked what sport they would compete in if they were in the Olympics. Larry sees himself as a javelin thrower, while Sue dreams of being an ice skater. These answers reflect their playful and adventurous spirits.

A Simple and Fulfilling Life

When pondering what they would do if money and time were no object, Sue and Larry simply want to continue living their current lifestyle. Their contentment with the simple life, surrounded by loved ones, speaks volumes about their values and priorities.

Sue and Larry Goldstein are pillars of our CNT community. Their story is a testament to love, family, and the power of giving back. We are grateful for their contributions and the warmth they bring to our congregation. Here’s to many more years of happiness and community with the Goldsteins!

We Stand with Israel

We are horrified by the unprovoked attacks on Israel. We have witnessed the country that holds a unique place in hearts subjected to rocket and terror attacks. Hundreds have been killed, taken hostage or are missing in inexcusable acts of aggression. Our hearts weep for all the innocent people of the region affected by these terror groups. We pray for the safe return of innocent hostages and the forces of peace to bring calm and safety to this Holy Land.  We stand in solidarity with our Israeli brothers and sisters and all those affected by these acts of violence and terror.
