Hello.
My name is Rabbi Goldman.
As you can tell by my photo, I look like a cat.
As a distinguished Rabbi, this is somewhat of a drawback because some people don’t take me seriously.
Not you, of course. You’re reading my web page.
Perhaps you were looking for Rabbi Mark N. Goldman, formerly of Cincinnati, but currently at Temple Bet Yam in St. Augustine, Florida. If so, you can visit his website here: http://www.templebetyam.org/aboutus/contactus/
Now, back to talking about myself.
I was born back in the late 1900s, about 1998. I’ve stopped telling people my exact birthday because I don’t like all the cat joke birthday cards. I currently live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I am special because I am a Maine Coon Cat. What makes me different than an average house cat is that I can type. Which is why I have a web page and they don’t.

The New Urbanism by Peter KatzReacting to yesterday’s suburban sprawl and failed urban development, a coalition has formed of innovative architects, developers, and builders in what has become known as the “New Urbanism.” This widely publicized movement seeks to bring back the basic amenities that make communities work: culturally diverse housing; easy access to work, play and schools; and efficient transportation. The New Urbanism shows this visionary movement in action in “edge cities” on the fringes of existing metropolitan areas as well as in separate satellite communities. [click here] |

Portuguese Palissy Ware : A Survey of Ceramics from Caldas Da Rainha, 1853-1920 by Marshall P. Katz The great French 16th-century potter, Bernard Palissy, created a genre of rustic ceramic ware reproducing three-dimensional still lifes of natural objects, flora and fauna of all types, including lizards and fish, rendered in high relief and natural colors. His work influenced a school of artists that flourished in the Portuguese town of Caldas da Rainha, 65 miles north of Lisbon, between 1853 and 1920. This volume surveys the work of the most important artists of the Portugese Palissy revival, including Mafra and Pinheiro. [click here] |

Postmodernism and the Politics of ‘Culture’ by Adam Katz Postmodernism and the Politics of ‘Culture’ is a comparative critical analysis of the political and intellectual ambitions of postmodernist critical theory and the academic discipline of cultural studies. |
Katz’s polemical aim is to show that cultural studies comes up short in both areas, because its practitioners focus on too-narrow issues-primarily, celebrating the folkways of micro-communities-while denying the very possibility of studying, understanding, and changing society in any comprehensive way and to any universally beneficial purpose. He argues that scholars and activists alike would do well to make use of the analytical tools of postmodernist critical theory, whose practitioners acknowledge the political significance of the differences between social groups, but do not consider them to be unbridgeable, and so seek to develop a set of practices for creating a truly inclusive, truly democratic public sphere.
