Gold, Aaron S., Rabbi, 1920-2001

Aaron S. Gold (May 13, 1920-June 13, 2001) was a rabbi who served many congregations including ones in Las Vegas, Wisconsin, and San Diego.
Gold was born in Poland, the son of a rabbi, and the tenth of eleven children.  While living in Poland, Gold faced anti-Semitic sentiments and
was once beaten so bad he went into a coma. When he was a child his father and brother emigrated to the United States and sent for the rest of
the family in 1928. After his move to the United States, Rabbi Gold trained as a rabbi and cantor as well as being a certified shochet and moehl.
