Exchange with Hans Bachrach about Counterpoint Australia Publicity and Fee for Yeshiva University (1974)

Dear Rabbi Dr. Lamm and Mindy, Very many thanks for both your letters. We are glad to hear that you are satisfied with the report that you have received and take this opportunity to reciprocate the good wishes for Passover, but I guess we will be in touch with each other beforehand. Enclosed please find a copy of the letter which I wrote today to Abe which will keep you informed how things are going. The savings which will be achieved by my proposal may already go a good way towards the fee for the Y.U. which you had envisaged and I will give this matter further consideration. In your letter you invited me to make comments on the statement which you have prepared and I want you to know that I am delighted with it and have sent a number of copies out already. I feel, however, that it should be in the form of a letter to the Editor of the Australian Jewish News and the Australian Jewish Times, and for that reason I made a few suggestions. You will note that I'm playing a low key on our aims and I only try to stimulate the interest of the participants. Please look at my comments as suggestions only ans/,whatever your final letter to the Editor of both papers will be, we will do our utmost to see that it will be published in full, which I suggest you also suggest in your letter as a postscript.Kind regards,
Australia & New Zealand

Letter from Hans Bachrach to Abraham Stern about Counterpoint Australia Travel Expenses (1974)

Dear Abe, I appreciate receipt of the two letters from Rabbi Lamm and his statement, for which I will thank him directly. Today I would like to advise that regarding travel arrangements, money may be saved by students traveling on our ticket, not together to one direction from the West Coast, but directly to their varied destinations, and travel proceed to Honolulu on Sunday, 23rd June. In this way no internal money expenses will be incurred by the Counsellors and Faculty and a lot of money will be saved by Yeshiva.As soon as I have confirmation of this and your travel wishes, I would exceedingly like to go ahead and make the bookings, particularly as some hotels are difficult to get for so large a group.As I have not received a reply from Rabbi Mandel from New Zealand, I today sent a copy of this letter to the Rabbi in Auckland to ascertain if his help can be enlisted.For your own information, I enclose a copy of Mr. Schruhm's statement. You will see copies of my letters to Mr. Nagley and Zeev Amit. From the letter you may have a number of copies that, depending on the size of the student seminar in Sydney, we may have other activities, particularly since possibly only 30-50 students may be attending, of Faculty and Madrichim available during that weekend.Bert Monde is now Chairman of the Education Committee of the Board of Deputies American and has arranged that the Board will tender a welcome to our visitors on Thursday, 27th June. This function will serve to meet leaders of the community as well as their partners from Australia.Kind regards,
Australia & New Zealand
