Rabbi Goodman Lipkind was a London rabbi who later emigrated to New York through Ellis Island in 09/12/1903 at the age of 28 on the S.S. New York. The JEWISH CHRONICLE of Oxfordshire notes that he officiated as a rabbi in the years 1901 and 1902. He wrote several articles for the Jewish Encyclopedia in 1906. He is today mainly remembered for having been the factual base for the picture of Joseph Strelitski, the Rabbi who emigrated to America in Israel Zangwill's "Children of the Ghetto". Lipkind was the rabbi at Congregation Sinai, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1910-1911). (That congregation disbanded in 1915). He was rabbi of the Gates of Heaven temple in Schenectady, New York from 1921-1926.

Author Israel Zangwill's book Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People ed.1977 featured a character named Joseph Strelitski. The character was inspired by Rabbi Goodman Lipkind: "These chapters enable Zangwill to portray the opposite extreme of the London Jewish community, for the Kensington Synagogue is no doubt based on ... Joseph Strelitski is Rabbi Goodman Lipkind, who later served as a Rabbi in New York." Author Zangwill and Lipkind grew up in the same Whitecastle area of London so Zangwill was very familiar with Lipkind.

On page 201 of the The History of the Jews of Milwaukee the following reference is made of Rabbi Lipkind.

"B'ne Jeshurun was religiously more thriving. In controverting an attack on Milwaukee's Jewish "indifference" and "Rip van Winkle slumber" by the departing Rabbi Lipkind of Congregation Sinai, Rabbi Caro admitted "some pith of truth," but insisted that there was "equally as much indifference" elsewhere."
