Exchange with the Harkham Family about an Encounter with R. Maurice Lamm in Los Angeles (1974)

Dear Rabbi Mrs. Lamm, although it has been 3 months since the birth of our little daughter, Rachel, we have been trying to get your address. Strange enough how we could not get it through. About 3 weeks ago we were in N.S.W. on business. While in S.P.H. we stayed at the Burley Hillers. As we were leaving there was a barmitzvah. Suddenly we saw an identical page of myself thinking it was you, we greeted Rabbi Korn and then got your brother’s reference (the sadness!). Rachel was born first day Rosh Hashanah 9.5 lbs, healthy with blue eyes and black black hair. A sheer joy and pleasure, only to be given a present – so good! My parents naturally spoil her, but it is their privilege. We trust you are fine. Sincerely, David, Graciela, Rachel Hershkovitz.

Letter from R. Abaranok about R. Lamm's Visit to Australia (1973)

החיים והשלום לכבוד האי גברא רבא איש האשכולות המוכתר בנימוסין ה"ה כש"ת הרב הגאון ד"ר לעם שליטה: אחסצשה"ט באהבה רבה ונאמנה הנני מקוה להשית שמכתבי ומצאהו ביחד עם הרבנית בקו הבריאות והשלם אמ"ס בנידון להערתו בש"ק שעבר בנוגע כבוד או"א לעכום. הנני מביא פה כמה הערות מן המקור (יבמות כב עא) – ערוה גופה אי לאו שלא יאמרו באין מקדושה חמורה לקדושה קלה – (דברי הגמרא) רמבם שופטים הלכות ממרים פה הלכה יא – מביא בזה"ל הגר אסור לקלל אביו העכום ולהכותו – ולא ובזהו כדי שלא יאמרו (באנו) באו מקדושה חמורה לקדושה קלה שהרי זה מבלה אביו אלא נוהג בו מקצת כבוד

Letter from Doris Lissauer about R. Lamm's Visit to Melbourne (1973)

Dear Rabbi & Mrs. Lamm, I would not like you to leave Melbourne without telling you what a good experience it has been for us to meet you and listen to your various lectures. We have benefited from them enormously. I am only sorry that due to your short stay & heavy commitment it was not possible to have you as our guest at home. Mrs. Lamm, I would like to mention to you that for the past 5 years I have been responsible for and in charge of pre-weddings for our old collegians at Hd. Scopus College. If in any way I can be of help to you with ideas on the practical side of these I would be more than happy. We raise a large amount of money each year & our old Collegians find it very rewarding to be part of the fundraising activity for a deserving cause.
