Correspondence

Exchange with R. Abraham Cohen about Manuscript of His Essays on "The New Morality" (1970)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, How are you? You will remember that I approached you after your address at Rabbi Forman’s synagogue here in Toronto; I mentioned then I am a ’62 musmach of Y.U. and am presently engaged in the field of school psychology here in Toronto. I told you that I was working on a book dealing with the new morality (touching upon various aspects of it). You indicated that if I sent a sample chapter and an outline you might show the manuscript to someone at Harper’s. I thought, and I hope you’ll agree, that I would be best first sending you two component parts for your opinion; that is, just a simple statement of whether you think it’s a matter worth carrying further. I could immediately send you the outline (which is something I might like to work on further) which could then be shown to a publisher. I am enclosing a lengthy analysis of the sex-movie phenomenon which I once sent to several magazines. Saturday Review indicated (i.e., a member of the editorial staff) that they read the article with considerable interest, but that it just wasn’t right for their magazine. Harper’s indicated that it was a “very well done job” but was too academic for them. I realize that it is probably too lengthy and complex for most popular magazines. The other chapter is on the subject of marriage; while photostating a copy for you I photostated another copy and may send it to some magazine for consideration. I have basically dropped concern with magazines which would involve a different, and perhaps painstaking approach, and one of much more limited ambition. As I noted, I would appreciate just a statement of your impression, and any advice or help you might offer me. I wonder if there is anyone else at Y.U. who might take some interest in this matter (since I am a graduate). I would imagine that if you expressed any interest in my efforts that any additional assistance would be pretty unnecessary. But then, you could answer that best. Finally, I might just remark in the way…

Exchange with Roger Harris about Request for R. Lamm's Autograph (1976)

My dear Dr. Lamm: I am compiling a collection of autographs of outstanding persons. I hope you do not mind my imposing upon you and will permit me to include you in my collection as I sincerely believe that you, through your inspiring efforts and contributions, are endearing yourself to many people. If you would be so kind as to autograph the front of my enclosed "Four Chaplains envelope," I shall be very grateful. A stamped, return-addressed envelope is included for your convenience. Of course, if you have a photo available (any size) that you could autograph, it would please me immensely. I would be interested in knowing, Dr. Lamm, what you consider your greatest satisfaction thus far during your distinguished career? With cordial best wishes, Sir, for much happiness and continued success, Respectfully yours, Roger Harris

Exchange with Samuel Badian about Sending Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination to Robert Kennedy (1964)

Dear Mr. Kennedy: A great many words have been written and said about President John F. Kennedy during these past months, still I am enclosing for your perusal a copy of the sermon that was preached by Rabbi Norman Lamm on November 23, 1963, the subject of which is entitled “The Sun Has Set,” a tribute to President John F. Kennedy. It is a most beautiful and sincere tribute. May I suggest for your consideration that it be placed in the archives of the John F. Kennedy Memorial that is being planned. Sincerely yours, Samuel M. Badian
