Jerry Goldstein, father of United Synagogue president Michael and JLC chair Jonathan, dies

It is understood the 80 year-old’s death on Sunday was not related to coronavirus.

Mr Goldstein was a regular at Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue.

Alongside his wife Ann, Mr Goldstein would regularly be seen at communal events seated in the audience proudly listening to his sons speak from the stage.

A third son Daniel lives in Israel.

In May 2017, after their son Michael was elected United Synagogue president, Jerry and Ann Goldstein said: “We are very proud of our three sons and their families.

"We have always tried to live by the principles our parents taught us: to stick together as a family, to be good Jews, and to give back to the community.

"We know that being leaders of the community is not an easy task and we really admire their desire to put themselves forward and try to make a difference.

"It is more than we ever could have expected from them.”
