Dear Dr. Lamm, At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I would like to take this opportunity to with you מזל טוב and best wishes on your appointment to the presidency of Yeshiva University. I have been among your admirers from the time I took courses with you at EMC. My father, Jerry, informed me of the news of your ascendency to my great pleasure. I trust and pray you will lend to your new position the excellence and quality that you have always exhibited.
