Exchange with Barbara Lehmann about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency and the Need to Strengthen Stern College (1976)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, מזל טוב! It was wonderful to hear that you have been chosen as the new president of Yeshiva U. You are of course the obvious choice – I had been hoping you'd be selected, the perfect choice! You have always shown a sincere concern for the grieving persons in your community, it is so important that the Y.U. students to feel that they have someone who honestly cares – I'm sure you do, and will always be to the student's needs.

Exchange with David Kornbluh about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Please accept my words of congratulations on your accession to the Presidency of Yeshiva University. Although I have never had the honor of meeting you, mutual acquaintances, such as Mr. Joseph Schiff of the West Side Jewish Community Council, have frequently spoken to me of the splendid leadership you have provided to our Jewish Community of the West Side. As you can see from my letterhead, I am a candidate for public office. It seems to me that the legitimate public policy concerns which we share as Jews should be given consistent expression in the halls of the State legislature. I would consider it a privilege if you could find the time to meet with me, either alone or in the presence of some of your colleagues, to discuss matters of mutual priority, and, in the event you find me properly receptive, to see if you might not wish to provide some measure of assistance to me in the present campaign. Again, my sincere congratulations, and my thanks for taking the time to consider this letter. Sincerely, David Kornbluth
