About

Born in the Bronx, Neil Perry Gordon is the eldest son to Elaine and Walter Gordon. At the age of seven years old, Neil’s family moved from the Bronx, to the suburban community of Rockland County.

As serendipity would have it, the Green Meadow Waldorf School was located a mile from their home. Soon, Neil and his brother Craig and sister June were attending the innovative private school. Neil graduated as the first high school class in 1976.

Neil earned his Bachelor degree in Marketing from Pace University. Shortly after graduation in 1980, he moved to south Florida and started a drapery business. In 1990, he relocated back to New York and still operates his business, Decorating with Fabric. He has two adult sons, Samuel and Maximilian.

Neil has written two professional trade books. The first one, The Designer’s Coach, focuses on assisting designers in building a successful business. His most recent publication, An Architect’s Guide to Engineered Shading Solutions, instructs professionals on the techniques of implementing window coverings into their building projects.

A Cobbler’s Tale is Neil’s first work of fiction.

The Healing Classroom

How Waldorf Education Could Redeem Gaza’s Children from a Culture of Hate Every classroom begins the same way — with a six-year-old child, eyes bright, heart open, hands eager to touch the world. Yet from that shared beginning, two paths unfold: one toward life, the other toward loss. The Light of Learning In a Waldorf classroom, morning light spills across beeswax crayons and jars of watercolor. Children speak verses in soft unison, their hands busy weaving, drawing, shaping. The lessons...

A Yoga Teacher, an IDF Soldier, and an Antisemite Walk into a Restaurant

Love as the Last Line of Defense BROTHERS IN YOGA They came to New York not as politicians or preachers, but as witnesses. Two Israelis — one a yoga therapist who guides soldiers through the silent aftermath of war, the other a young man who escaped the Nova Music Festival massacre, later, as an IDF soldier, fought in Gaza and Lebanon, and now lives with the tremors of PTSD — stood before us and told their stories. Their presence felt like an offering: two souls who had walked through fire,...
