Letter to Myron Kaufmann about His New Book (1966)

Dear Mr. Kaufman, It was a real pleasure hearing from you after all this time. I hope you will believe me when I say that every Wednesday, when I lecture at the "Y", I think of those students I had in the past who gave me good reason to remember them – foremost amongst them, you. Naturally, I am quite pleased with the report you sent to me of your anonymous acquaintance who said such flattering things about me. The remarks made me feel good, not only because they are compliments, but because they justify all the effort that I put into my teaching. Whether I deserve them or not is quite another question.I have been wondering all this while since I last saw you about the progress on your new book. Interestingly, within the last four weeks, two authors of "best sellers" have called me to check out certain facts in new novels they are writing. Is your new book going to deal, in any way, with a Jewish theme or Jewish background? Whatever it is, I am looking forward to it with great expectation.Please give my very fondest regards to your wife, from both me and my own wife. We both remember with great fondness the evening the two of you spent with us at our home. Please do let me hear from you.Cordially yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMM

Letter to Gene Lowenthal with Request for Reprint of Israeli Law Review Article (1972)

Dear Mr. Lowenthal: I was very very pleased that you responded with such alacrity and efficiency to my sister Tzibi’s request for a reprint of the Israeli Law Review article. It came to me in record speed and almost simultaneously with Tzibi’s note that she had forwarded the request to you. I am deeply grateful to you and hope you will let me know what expenses were incurred so that I may compensate you for them. Do give my fondest regards to Sue and the children. All best wishes.Cordially,Rabbi Norman LammNL:cw

Letter from Elliot Gertel Enclosing Published Article (1973)

April 26, 1973 Mr. Elliot B. Gertel 209 Ruggles Columbia University New York, N.Y. 10027 Dear Elliot: Many, many thanks to you for sending me your splendid essay, which I found most illuminating. I read it during חו״ל and it added to my enjoyment. I am sending along reprints of three of my articles that have some relevance to your theme. The lack of time to comment on your paper in detail makes this the best way for an exchange of ideas – short of actually meeting. I shall indeed be pleased to meet with you and renew our acquaintance. Meanwhile, my very best wishes to your parents and grandparents. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm NL:cw Enc.
