Decennial book, 1973-1982'', 1983, p.266〕 According to a possibly-apocryphal story, Goldin was dismissed from the Yeshiva for studying the writings of Charles Darwin at a time when Orthodox Jews considered evolution a to be heresy.〔() Rosen, Jane Calem "A Scholarly Family's History".

Goldin purchased 360 acres of land in the Adirondack Mountains and established children's summer camps and the Blue Sky Lodge Hotel, which become a meeting ground for modern Orthodox thinkers.〔Rosen, Jane Calem "A Scholarly Family's History".
