Exchange with Dr. Bavli about Japanese Convert Who Wants to Intermarry (1972)

Exchange with R. Ort about Naming a Child after a Living Relative (1987)

לכבוד הרה״ג הר״ר נחום לאם שליט״א, נשיא וראש ישיבת ר׳ יצחק אלחנן: שמחתי מאוד בהופעת קובץ ״בית יצחק״ מאת תלמידי הישיבה הק׳, ראשיה ומשיבי שיעוריה. כל המעיין בה ימצאנה קנקן חדש יפה ומהודר, מלא ישן נושן מיין תורתנו הקדושה. נשתעשתי ביחד מהחבו״ד של מעכ״ת בשאלה המסובכת אשר דן בה. ובהיותי מעיין בדבריו עלו בליבי מחשבות דברים, פעם יבדוק יפעם לחזק, וכדרכן של לומדי תורה כמו שדרש חז״ל על הפסוק ברזל בברזל יחד וכו, מה הברזל הזה אחד מחדד את השני,

Letter to R. Jung about Birth of a Daughter to the Lamm Family (1961)

Dear Rabbi and Mrs. Jung: I know you will excuse me if I am brief in this note, but the press of official duties and personal matters make it impossible to elaborate as I otherwise would have wanted to. From the introduction you can understand that I am quite occupied with "personal matters." This week-end Mindy gave birth to a baby girl and, thank G-d, both mother and daughter are doing well. We are really sorry that the happy event did not occur before you left for Iran, but we know that your good wishes from afar are close to us here.There is nothing new in the Center except that we are all looking forward to your return.Sincerely,Rabbi Norman Lamm
