Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Goldman

Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Goldman (1905/1907 – July 6, 1980) was a renowned Orthodox rabbi, dayan, and publisher in Hungary and the United States.

Goldman was born in Neupest (Hungarian: Újpest), a suburb of Budapest, Hungary.

To save his family from the 1944 Nazi invasion of Hungary, he obtained false papers that certified them as non-Jews, a ruse that enabled them to live on a farm disguised as gentiles and thereby escape deportation to concentration or death camps by the Nazis.

After the war, Goldman's family lived in Hamburg, Germany for a period of time.

Initially, he lived on the Lower East Side, Manhattan, then in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and finally in Boro Park, Brooklyn, where he served as rabbi of a synagogue known as "Naipest" (namesake of his previous rabbinate, in Hungary).
