PROFILE: The Abraham and Mildred Goldstein Charitable Trust was established in 1997. It bears the name of the late Abraham Goldstein, chairman and leader of Society of Jewish Science, and his wife Mildred. The foundation is currently steered by several trustees, including Hirschell E. Levine, a partner of Withum, an accounting firm.
