Exchange with Bernard Postal about R. Lamm's Subscription to The Jewish Digest (1969)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Maurice tells me you did not get a marked copy of our September issue. You should have, but I've sent you another under separate cover. Perhaps you may want to become a subscriber. You had better watch out for that nephew of yours. His Bar Mitzvah sermon was a remarkable tour de force. Yours, Bernard Postal

Exchange with E.J. Mazgaonkar about Sickness, Books, and Aliyah of Indian Jewry (1971)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Shalom. I really do not know what you would think of me for not replying your kind letter of March 31, 1971. Kindly excuse me and accept my apology for this abnormal delay, which is due to my sickness. I was down with severe attack of chronic Bronchitis, which used to worry me a lot. I am now somewhat better and I am trying to push through all my pending letters. I am still under doctor treatment due to this attack. It seems that my heart is become weak. Doctor has prescribed me "Herzolan" heart tonic and considers that I have to take Resdonal tablets, one in the morning & one in the evening. I have to go again for a check to Doctor on 26th July. I am told not to walk much or exert myself. I have curtailed my activities due to my sickness. Well God is merciful. I have full faith in "EL ELOHAI ISRAEL," Lord God of Israel. He will look after me & have His mercy on me. Amen.During Passover I enjoyed my prayers through your Prayer Book which you had sent me some time back. I understand the meaning of the prayers since there is also English side by side with Hebrew. I thank you again for your kind gift of those prayer books really. I am much obliged & thankful to you.I am a bit weak, hence I close my letter with kind regards and good wishes to you & your family. My wife joins as same.Yours sincerely,E.J.

Exchange with R. Jakobovits about Jewish Chronicle Reporting and R. Lamm's Views on Divine Revelation (1969)

Dear Immanuel: By now our criss-crossed letters on the Jewish Chronicle editorial have finally crissed and crossed, and I regard it as a good sign that we all did instinctively what we later advised each other to do! Since we last corresponded, the Jewish Chronicle published my letter, and I talked to Dr. Samuel Freeman of the Jewish Center Lecture Bureau, who informed me that he would look into the question and make the proper arrangements immediately. Yesterday I received a letter from Frankel of the Jewish Chronicle, and I enclose a xerox copy for your perusal. I have not yet decided what to answer him, but I certainly do not intend to let myself be boxed into a corner. Any suggestion how I can get out of this gracefully? Meanwhile, my very best wishes, and those of Mindella, to you and Amelie and all your children for a year of health and peace and ever-greater creativity. Please do give my special personal regards to Joel, of whom I am extremely fond. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
