Exchange with Dr. Hochbaum about Geneva Symposium and Gershom Scholem's Views Limiting Public Access to Academic Discussions (1975)

Dear Norman: Before I become involved in the work which accumulated on my desk, I quickly want to write to you and thank you for your participation in the Symposium held in connection with the annual meeting of the Memorial Foundation. There were numerous comments on the importance and high quality of the presentations and discussions. Your paper was most informative and out-standing. Many people paid special tribute to your valuable insights. As you know, we are planning to publish the presentations made at the Symposium. If you have a written manuscript, I would appreciate your sending it to us by return mail, since it would save us the time and cost of transcribing the tapes. As I mentioned to you previously, we will transcribe all the comments made in the discussion and send them to you so that if you wish, you can incorporate all or some of them into your formal presentation.May I again, on behalf of the Foundation, express our appreciation to you for taking time, from what we know is a busy schedule, to prepare your excellent presentation and to come to Geneva for the Symposium.I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you again soon.Sincerely yours.Assoc. Executive DirectorJH:sh

Exchange with Dr. Sherman about Geneva Symposium Proceedings Manuscript (1975)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: I met this morning with Dr. Isaac Lewin, of Agudat Israel, who asked whether he might have a copy of the talk you gave at our symposium last month in Geneva. May I send him a copy of the manuscript you sent us, or would you prefer to deal with Dr. Lewin's request directly? May I take this opportunity to wish you and Mrs. Lamm a very happy and healthy New Year. Your sincerely, J. Sherman, Executive Director

Exchange with Dr. Talmon about Meeting Each Other at Interfaith Meeting in Geneva (1972)

Dear Shmaryahu, Just a quick note to tell you how happy I am to have gotten to know you and your wife during our brief stay in Geneva. It was, as I mentioned to you, the one definitely positive result – indeed, the high point – of my participation in the "consultation." I've called our New York people to report briefly on what happened, and I assume you and they will be in contact too. Please give my very best regards to Mrs. Talmon. I do hope you will call me during your next visit to New York, which I trust will take place soon.Cordially,RABBI NORMAN LAMM
