Editing Rabbi Dovid Goldstein (section)

== Early Life ==
R' Dovid was born and raised in the [[Boro Park]] neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York to his father R' Moshe Yehuda and his mother Mrs. Chaya Malka, a chassidic family, though not Chabad chassidim. There he learned in cheder under the melamed Reb Shlomo Zalman Hecht, who later became the Rebbe's shliach in Chicago. His father was known in his previous place of residence as "Der Shomer Shabbos" (The Shabbos Observer), as he was almost the only one who was strict about Shabbos observance in the city.

His older brother Yosef Goldstein became close to Chabad chassidus, and following him, he was also drawn to it. In his youth, he wanted to study at Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim at 770, but due to the great distance between his neighborhood and Crown Heights where the yeshiva was located, and various health constraints, his parents did not allow him to learn in Tomchei Tmimim. In one of the letters he wrote to the Frierdiker Rebbe about his strong desire to transfer to Tomchei Tmimim and his parents' refusal, the Rebbe instructed him to obey their instructions, and when his health situation improved, he could transfer.

Despite this, he would frequently come to 770, and on Shabbos and Yomim Tovim he would walk despite the great distance.
