Letter from Herman Wouk Congratulating R. Lamm on His Selection for West Side Jewish Center Pulpit (1952)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, I remember the conversation well. Unfortunately it turns out that on the day you mention there is a dedication of the Great Neck Synagogue, which I helped to found, and I am going to have to go out and spend the day there. Congratulations on your Installation. Mrs. Wouk and I wish you the best success in your pulpit. Warmest regards. Cordially yours, H Wouk

Letter to Senior League of West Side Jewish Center about Stepping Down from West Side Jewish Center Pulpit (1953)

Dear Friend: It is with the greatest regret that this letter is written to you. I had hoped that the necessity for so doing would be obviated, however, circumstances have wade it a necessity. What I am referring to is that I do not intend to remain as the Spiritual Leader of the West Side Jewish Center. That, of course, means that I will have to sever my relationship with the Senior League. Let we make it abundantly clear that whatever my motive for leaving the Synagogue, I will forever remember with tenderness and gladness the friends I made in the Senior League. I had hoped that we could make of the Senior League a vehicle of self expression and a sort of home, particularly for those who gave so much of their time and energy to the furtherance of its good and welfare, I hope that you will not allow the Senior League to die. I believe it has much to offer and it should he continued.I plan to be present at your November 8th affair. However, I cannot be sure of that. Whatever may be, I do want to see you again and the best of luck to you.May G-d be with all of you.Sincerely, Norman Lamm, Rabbi

Letter from Jacob Marrus about Offer for Shaarey Tefila Pulpit (1967)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: It was a pleasure for me to discuss the pulpit vacancy at Congregation Sharaay Tefila and the possibility of your being available to fill this vacancy. I fully appreciate the reasons for your feeling that you are not in a position to give this your consideration. I trust however that this is not necessarily a fully closed chapter and that you will not hesitate to call me if you are in a position to discuss this further with me.With kindest regards,Sincerely,Jacob MarrusJM:REA
