Dr. Edward Goldman

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, to Tuvia Goldman and the late Ahuva (Pravda) Goldman, he lived a life marked by his deep devotion to his family, friends, his students, his community and his faith. Dr. Goldman began teaching mathematics in the Los Angeles area in 1974 before moving to Las Vegas in 1981 to join the Clark County School District. What began as a role teaching math and history at Von Tobel Junior High School grew into a distinguished career spanning more than four decades.

He served as Teacher, Dean, Assistant Principal, Assistant Superintendent, District Chief Negotiator, Southeast Region Superintendent, and Associate Superintendent of Employee Management Relations. He approached every role with integrity and a steadfast belief that decisions should always serve the best interests of children. He retired on January 1, 2021. He also served a full term on the Nevada Taxicab Authority appointed by Governor Kenny Guinn.

With his wife Susan, Dr. Goldman helped establish Midbar Kodesh Temple & Early Childhood Center as one of its six founding families. His leadership, on the Board of Directors, his guidance of the ritual committee, and his presence at worship reflected a deep and quiet commitment to Jewish learning. He was cherished for his wisdom, humility, and devotion.

He is survived by his daughter, Mollie Beth Goldman Fulwider, son- in-law, Ryan Fulwider, grandchildren, Kaydence Leigh Goldman, and Wyatt James Fulwider; father, Tuvia Goldman; siblings, Erez Goldman, Neora Goldman Rabinowicz, Yael Goldman Amichai and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grand-nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Susan S. Goldman and his mother, Ahuva Pravda Goldman.
