Exchange with Milton Konvitz about Publishing Articles on Judaism and Human Rights (1970)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, One of my chief undertakings while here at the Hebrew University is to prepare for publication my volume on Judaism and Human Rights, which, as you know, W.W. Norton has agreed to publish in a series edited by Professor David Patterson. I have gone over carefully the two papers which you were good enough to let me have for this volume, and again I want to thank you warmly for what will be important contributions to the volume. I have used the typed scripts of your articles rather than their published versions, for, as I believe is the case, the manuscripts have a later date. I have edited each of the two papers and I am sending you herewith xeroxed copies of them. What I have done in my editing was to cut out your discussion of American constitutional developments relating to privacy or the Fifth Amendment. I did this for two reasons: 1). Because I want my book to deal with the Jewish view of fundamental liberties and not with comparative law, 2). The American law on these topics, as you know, is in flux, and I do not want our discussion to become quickly out of date. I hope that you will approve my editing, which I have tried to keep to the minimum and which I have tried to do mainly with an eye on the above two considerations. It will be necessary for you, I'm afraid, to have the articles re-typed, so that they will be ready for the printer. The footnotes will need to be numbered in view of the omissions. But I believe that the task will be a fairly simple one for you. I hate to impose this burden on you since you have been so helpful up to now, but I do want you to see the changes I have made, and I am anxious that the copy for the printer will offer him no opportunity for mistakes. I would greatly appreciate your kindly sending me at my Jerusalem address the re-typed articles by air-mail as soon as you can and I assure you again of my profound thanks for your very valuable contributions. Incidentally I knew your grandfather, Rabbi Baumol, very …

Exchange with R. Kasher about Publishing Sefer on Jerusalem Targum (1967)

הנני מודה _____ מעומקא דלבא על שחיכותיו לקראת השנה החדשה, ויורשה-נא לי לברכו גם אני, ואל תהא ברכת הדיוט קלה בעיניו, ה"כ שגם הוא וגם ביתו יתברכו בשנת חיים ושלום, בריאות ורפואה, שנת יצירה ושלווה בנחת, ושנת ישועה וגאולה שלמה לכל ב"י א"ס. אמנם לא שכחתי ענין בקשתו וע"כ ה' מיכאל, ואמנם הצעתי את הענין לפניו לפני כמה חדשים בעקיפין וראיתי שאנו מעונין, והחלטתי שטוב לדחות אותו עד שעת הכושר. מ"מ בבוא המועד אי"ה אולי בצלא דמהמנומא יצליח ה' דרכי ואזכה להיות שליח מצווה עבורך. בכבוד והערכה, נחום לאם
