Exchange with Dr. Rosenblum about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)

Dear Dr. Lamm, At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I would like to take this opportunity to with you מזל טוב and best wishes on your appointment to the presidency of Yeshiva University. I have been among your admirers from the time I took courses with you at EMC. My father, Jerry, informed me of the news of your ascendency to my great pleasure. I trust and pray you will lend to your new position the excellence and quality that you have always exhibited.

Exchange with Judge Alvin Hellerstein about R. Lamm's Appointment to YU Presidency (1976)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Your congregants could have much simplified the task of Yeshiva's search committee. Indeed, as far as we were concerned there was no need for a committee, for in the end they would have had to, as they did, come to the choice that was inevitable from the beginning. I am glad that a larger community can now be moved by your ideas and inspired by your leadership. Notwithstanding the heavy responsibilities you will have as president of Yeshiva University, I hope that you will still find the time to share your scholarship and your thoughts with us to whatever degree possible, in sermons and especially in the Saturday afternoon series that so many of us enjoyed. Sincerely, Alvin K. Hellerstein
