Exchange with Debbie about Fundraising for Integration of Russian Immigrants in Israel (1972)

Dear Rabbi Lamm. שלום! I am a student at Barnard College. My home is in Chicago. Coming to a new city warrants various adjustments to the surrioundsing as well as finding one's place in this large city. Being that I am an observant and religious Jewess, I also haed to find a Shul that I could attend on שבת. After going to various shuls, I wanted to find a מקום קבוע where I could go to daven. I have attended your shul on a regular basis. I was at shul when you spoke on the immigration of Soviet Jews into Israel, I was astounded as well as distrubed to hear of the disgraful and deceiftul way in which they are being treated. Yet being in גלות limits the ways in which we can help improve and chnage this situation. At this moment צדקה seem to the means of keeping our brothers in Israel. Enclosed you will find a check which I am sure you will send to the proper people in Israel...

Exchange with Ludwig Jesselson about Fundraising for Integration of Russian Immigrants in Israel (1972)

Dear Mr. Jesselson: I thank you very much for the warm response to my telephone call concerning assistance for the Russian Jewish immigrants in Israel. Since the people in Israel who are doing the work are still in the process of organizing, and are meanwhile doing it on a personal basis, I suggest that your check of IL5,000 be made out to Rabbi Itzchak Kalman, Rechov Mishmar Haam 10, Jerusalem, Israel. I am also grateful and mindful of the fact that you encouraged me to come back to you in several months for additional assistance if it should be necessary. My warmest regards to Erika. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Exchange with R. Sandrow about Fundraising for Soviet Jewry (1969)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Please forgive my tardiness in not responding sooner to your letter of October 14th. I was in Israel this past summer and that is where I would like to be all year around. As to the main part of your letter which referred to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, I want you to believe me that I am most sympathetic but at the present time I simply cannot commit myself to the raising of $1,000. To a colleague it is not necessary to repeat the fact that I am involved over my head in causes which cannot raise funds from any other sources. However, if you will be patient with me and will give me until the early Spring, I will try to see that you have some funds. I certainly cannot do it between now and the first of the year. After the first of the year I shall be going to Europe and Israel for meetings at the Hebrew University, etc. but when I come back I will secure some funds. Please acknowledge this letter so I can have it in my active file for action. Sincerely, Edward E. Sandrow
