- GOLDMAN, YA'AKOV BEN ASHER (1856–1931), Hebrew journalist.
Goldman was born in Jerusalem where he studied at the Eẓ Ḥayyim
yeshivah. Influenced by the Haskalah at an early age, he contributed
articles to the Hebrew press, including Yehudah vi-Yrushalayim,
Ha-Ẓefirah, Ha-Asif, Ha-Maggid, Ha-Meliẓ, and
Ḥavaẓẓelet. In 1890 he moved to Jaffa, where he was
among the leading figures in the Ashkenazi Jewish community and one of
the founders of the Neveh Ẓedek quarter. For a time he served as chief
Palestine correspondent for Ha-Ẓefirah and acting editor of
Ḥavaẓẓelet. His articles include detailed historical accounts
of modern Jewish settlement in Ereẓ Israel. At the turn of the century,
Goldman became extremely religious. He abandoned his secular writing and
devoted himself to biblical research. Late in life, he published two
books on various topics (talmudic, religious, etc.).
