Letter to Isidore Strick about Elie Wiesel Visit and Springfield (1972)

Mr. Isidor L. Strick, 50 Riverview Terrace, Springfield, Md. 01108. Dear Is: I had a heart to heart talk to Mindy about your offer to be your guests for a weekend at Bournemouth. After much serious discussion, we decided that it would not be right to let you pay for our hotel bills. However, the fare for the air trip... Is, don’t give up on Springfield. Your quote from Elie Wiesel as to indifference being the opposite of love is correct and it ought to inspire you to do something instead of just being bitter about those who are ruining things. Incidentally, Wiesel and his wife will be over at my house tonight and I will tell him about his lack of influence in Springfield. My best wishes to Helen, the Kurns and Izensteins and the Kagans and all other friends. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm
