Exchange with Bezalel Safran about His Notes on R. Soloveitchik's Horayot Lectures (1969)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Enclosed you will find the notes on the last part of הוריות which you requested of me several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I did not have time to write them exp as elaborately as I had written up the notes on the first half of the מסכתא; however, I trust you will find them useful nevertheless. With best wishes for an invigorating and refreshing summer, to you and your family, sincerely yours, Bezalel Safran.

Exchange with R. Elkanah Schwartz about Publishing Papers on "New Currents on the Orthodox Scene" (1967)

Dear Rav Lamm – I hope this note finds you and yours well, and at the beginning of a happy, healthy, and fruitful year. Your remarks about my pamphlet project to encourage new writers are much appreciated, both for your having taken the time to respond and for the guidance. The outline has meanwhile been returned to my “ideas” file. Again I ask you for the benefit of your thinking, and hope you will similarly respond. Two summers ago, I organized and chaired a symposium at the Rabbinical Alliance convention on the theme of “New Currents on the Orthodox Scene.” Participants were Irving Glick for AOJS, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin for Yavneh, R. Yitzhak Gilat for Bar Ilan, and (by default) for COLPA, Rabbi Emanuel Rackman. Rackman prepared the paper for publication and then shortly left both YU and the OU. Saul Bernstein then took it in hand to publish it, although he had to cut and shorten my suggestions to him in order to reduce the length to fit their format. At the Glouster session, I met with Marvin Schick, including him in my remarks. He offered this suggestion – that if additional papers are prepared on other important new currents on the Orthodox scene, the project itself will acquire stature and usefulness. Such papers, if in mimeograph form, would in effect serve as “position papers” on these various trends. I have therefore prepared additional essays on the “Jewish Catalog Challenge” and “Outreach and the Traditional Community.” As such, if these were published as a pamphlet, they could assume some stature in themselves. It occurred that COLPA could sponsor such a project. Enclosed are the papers (which could be easily updated) and I return your envelope. Your thoughts and comments will be much appreciated. Sincerely, Elkanah Schwartz

Exchange with R. Naftali Baumol about Publishing a Sefer (1963)

לכבוד נ״א האהוב צמוד לבבו הרב נחום לאם שליט״א, מכתבך היקר וצאתו כשבאנו הביתה אתמול, והחלון ״רמ״ם״ שמצאנו לשם מיד אחרי סעודת נישואין שהם ביום חמישי הבעל״ט בשטו״מ, ואמצה להיטיב בו. כבר עברו כל הששמשות ומצא עתה בבית עם אשתו החשובה. מצאת את שאהבה נפשו. אישה עדינה ופיקחת ומוכתשת במידות טובות וחוטר ממגע היחס. וביידיש: אומרשו זערש אמוטע בעל בורוטע כן ועגור הטוב שוחאשר רשל רמל ומשה לארוכת ומום ושמשו בברואת השלומלת
