Letter to Laura Berkowitz about R. Lamm's Preference for the Title of "Rabbi" or "Doctor" (1967)

Dear Mrs. Berkowitz: Enclosed please find the corrected galleys of my article for Jewish Parent. I hope you will keep in mind my request for about 100 reprints or more if possible. Normally, I prefer my rabbinic title to my academic one. However, if I am introduced to readers only as a faculty member at Yeshiva University, I prefer that I be called Rabbi Lamm; and conversely, if I am introduced only as occupying a pulpit, then I prefer the title Dr. Norman Lamm. Since you have chosen to give my synagogue affiliation, I prefer the title Dr.Sincerely yours.rabbi Norman LammRNL/fzenc.

Anonymous Letter Critical of R. Lamm's Relationship with R. Rackman (1987)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, it is so painful to witness that even a leader such as you is becoming a partner to a רשע such as Emanuel Rackman. Gedolei Yisrael have declared this man to be a pasul ed, and you have succumbed to his views, which, as you can see from his articles, especially the last in the Jewish Week of July 24, 1991, are full of hatred against the Torah world, the Torah Jews.
