Exchange with R. Rosenfeld about Need for Midtown Jewish Day School (1952)

Dear Rabbi Rosenfeld: I want to call to your attention the fact that no All–Day school exists in all mid–town. I believe that it is possible to establish an All–Day kindergarten and perhaps arrange for classrooms in my synagogue, the West Side Jewish Center. I hope that you will be able to be of assistance to me in this project. I know that I can count on you and the Jewish Education Committee for full cooperation. Sincerely, Norman Lamm, Rabbi

Letter to Judith Rothenberg about Curriculum for Jewish Center Hebrew School (1968)

1) Allow me to remind you of the conclusions we came to at our Staff Meeting on Monday, September 8th. a) A great part of the time in class will be devoted to the forthcoming holidays. b) Use the same texts you have in the past, unless you prefer ones I suggested. c) On the basis of your experience with your pupils up to October 8th, please submit a detailed plan of what you want to achieve by the end of the term (including texts, chapters covered, etc.) Please have it ready by October 15th. 2) Mr. Julius: Miss Judith Rothenberg will be taking your grade 4 class on Sundays. Please meet with her, and let her have a detailed plan for the lessons on those days. They should be a continuation of your work during the week. My very best wishes for a Happy and Blessed New Year, and for a year of satisfying and fruitful associations. Sincerely, Rabbi N. Lamm

Letter to Mr. Kaufman about Starting College Women Study Group on Jewish Law (1959)

Mr. Kaufman: 1) A study group of college women in “Jewish Laws” will meet with me every Thursday, please God, in the 9th floor library from 7:30–9:00 P.M. (part of the Twenties’ Club), with the first session on February 5. 2) The Boys’ High School groups will not meet with Mr. Kantor in the gym on Sunday, February 1, hence the gym will be closed that day. 3) Please order a new blotter for my desk, as well as more yellow pads and pencils. 4) Please see that refreshments are prepared for the Dramatics Club every Sunday. 5) The next meeting of the Young Marrieds will be on March 1, at the Aaron Greens’. Rabbi Norman Lamm.
