Judah Goldin

Born in New York to immigrant parents, Judah Goldin was among the first American Jewish academics to have been trained in the United States, and he became a leader in midrashic scholarship. Goldin studied social science and English literature before turning to the Midrash, and his later work reflects the diversity of his academic training. He taught at a variety of colleges and universities, including Duke University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Iowa, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Yale University.
