Exchange with R. Maurice Lamm about Assisting Him with Book (1968)

Dear Norm, This is a minuscule note for your great assistance in aiding the book. I know how much work you put into it and that is really an adequate, gracious way in which we can thank the faster. You did more than cared, obviously. You advised and prodded – and that was just as valuable.

Letter about Community Resources for Education and Housing for the Elderly (1968)

Dear [redacted]: I regret that your letter is just a bit too strong for me to answer dispassionately. You may have a point, but it seems to be lost in a great deal of dogmatic opinion, and I think it the better part of wisdom, therefore, for me merely to thank you for your letter and not go into the issue. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter to R. Saul Berman about Nursing Home Scandal (1975)

Dear Saul: Apparently my trip to Israel, and the accumulated correspondence, plus two unavoidable out-of-town lecture engagements since, have caused a massive mix-up in my correspondence. I just today read the summary of your February 11th meeting, and the invitation to the February 20th meeting. You may rest assured that I would have made every effort to attend had I been aware of the meeting in advance. Meanwhile, please be kind enough to keep me informed. I also wonder whether you received my recent letter, copies of which were mailed to Steve Riskin and Moe Feuerstein, concerning the nursing home scandal. I think it is urgent that we be prepared to move in with it at the appropriate time. In order to do so, without delay, as much advance preparation as possible is important. All best wishes. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
