Exchange with Dr. Liebman about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)

Dear Norman, I was at the Jewish Center this Shabbos to wish you a personal מזל טוב, but I discovered you were taking your last vacation. I will be at JTS for the next two years. We have an apartment on Broadway & 90th – but it appears that Carole’s ambition to be a congregational spouse is not to be fulfilled. I really wish you all the best. I always felt close to Y.U., even now that you are at the helm, and if there is anything I can do for you – I’ll try my best.

ברצוני לשזר אלך מילך הברכות למנוי הרב, ורצוני לאחל לך מלא הצלחה בתפקידך כראש. בכבוד רב וביוקרה, שלמה שפיר. נ.ב: ביקשתי מהרב ד״ר דזוגוף לראיין אותך בשביל בד״ר למו בן כתף, והוא יתקשר אלך בקרוב. ובהזדמנות זו אני חוזר על ההזמנה שתשתתף בזל״ר, שם כרשמנו לכני כשאייף את הרצאתם באמינו בבית הנשיא.

Exchange with Dr. Silverman about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, לאי״ט, I was delighted to hear from Chaya of your election to the presidency of Yeshiva University. I am sure that this appointment has great personal meaning for you – not only because of the important, challenging problems that must lie ahead – but because of the close and warm relationship I know you had with the late Dr. Belken ע״ה unto whose office which is so exalted by his esteemed presence, you are now about to enter.
