Exchange with Dr. Safran about His Article on Teaching Moral Values in the Diaspora (1969)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Enclosed please find an offprint of my recently published article, "The Teaching of Moral Values in the Diaspora." I would greatly appreciate if you would be kind enough to communicate to me some of your thoughts and comments on the article. With best wishes for a כתיבה וחתימה טובה, שנת אושר והצלחה, שנה גדולה וישועהת, I remain, sincerely yours, Joseph Safran

Exchange with R. Elkanah Schwartz about Reconvening "Chavrusa" (1967)

Dear Rav Lamm: I hope this note finds you and yours in the best of health. You might recall the wonderful moments of “Chavrusas” of a few years ago. One of the moving spirits was Rabbi Jacobovits. I wish to recommend a reconvening of the group, but not for just another Tzaychem L’Shalom. During his tenure on these shores, Rabbi Jacobovits undoubtedly drew some impressions which he would be interested in sharing with a few yichedey segulah, outside the rigidity of the established organizations. (I base this remark not on knowledge but on assumption.) Should you and he be interested, I would be happy to forward the “Chavrusas” list. I leave this matter to your respected judgement. Looking forward to good news on all fronts, I remain Sincerely yours, Elkanah Schwartz

Exchange with R. Rabinowitz about Request to Write on Jewish Attitude Toward Gentiles (1970)

My dear Rabbi Lamm, I hope this letter finds you well. Knowing how busy you are, I am hesitant to approach on the subject which follows, but I have an idea, which I hope is correct, that you would welcome this assignment. I am enclosing herewith an article by Dr. D. Sperber on Gentiles in the Talmud, and I think you will agree that it is a competent article. On the other hand, it restricts itself severely, as he was requested to do, to the Talmudic aspect. Would you agree, taking the existence of this article into consideration, to write a more comprehensive additional article on the general Jewish attitude towards Gentiles as a whole. If you agree, which I earnestly hope you will, we would like an article of up to 2,000 words. Should you unfortunately find yourself unable to do so, can you immediately by return recommend someone who can do it. In fact, to save time, I would rely on your judgement and request you to ask someone else to do the article. With grateful thanks in anticipation, and kindest personal regards, Yours sincerely, Dr. L. I. Rabinowitz
