Abstract:

It is always awe inspiring to witness how one person can change the face of society. Obviously, not every person can make such a difference. Ralph Goldman is one of those rare people who had a vision and was able to make it happen. This article describes one way in which Ralph made a difference. He was a major architect of the Israeli Community Center (Matnas) movement.
