Nathaniel Isaiah Shaham Goldman (1892-1934) was an American poet and playwright born in New York City in 1892 and died in 1934. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to Yiddish literature, writing poetry and plays in the language spoken by Ashkenazi Jews, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. His works often reflected the experiences, struggles, and cultural identity of Jewish immigrants in America during the early 20th century. While not widely known outside of Yiddish literary circles, Goldman's works are appreciated for their insight into the Jewish immigrant experience and their contribution to Yiddish literature.
