Exchange with Charles Bendheim about Jewish Center Annual Mikvah Contribution (1972)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: The writer wishes to refer to his letter to you of April 14, regarding your pledge of an annual contribution of $1,000.00, as an ongoing contribution for the maintenance of our Mikvah on West 78th Street. As you were advised at the meeting at the home of Mr. Bendheim on April 11, the funds are sorely needed, and you indicated that we can normally expect the above amount as a lump sum by Rosh Hashanah of each year. To date we have not received any monies honoring your pledge, and in view of the need for funds at this time, I would appreciate if you could arrange to forward a check to the attention of the writer. Thanking you for your cooperation, and with kindest personal regards, Very truly yours, C. H. Bendheim

Exchange with Frieda Zachariash about the Mechitzah at The Jewish Center (1961)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: This past Shabbos I attended morning services at The Jewish Center for the first time. I was impressed by the dignity and order of everything. Your talks before the readings of the Torah and Haftorah were very good. I assume this is done every Shabbos and think this is a most wonderful thing. Your speech was timely as well as inspiring. To sum it up I am impressed with The Jewish Center and would like to attend regularly but am unable to do for one simple reason – the mechitza. Would you please enlighten me in this situation.Sincerely,Frieda A. Zachariash

Exchange with Mel Scult about Record Request for Mordecai Kaplan's Tenure at The Jewish Center (1975)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: I am working on a book which will deal with the life and thought of Mordecai Kaplan. I would like to examine the records of the Jewish Center for the period in which Kaplan was Rabbi. Do you know where the records of the Center are for that period? Thank you very much for your attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mel Scult
