Exchange with Justice Goldberg about UN March for Soviet Jewry (1969)

Dear Justice Goldberg: The New York Conference on Soviet Jewry, a coordinating committee of the local chapters of the major national Jewish organizations, will be conducting a demonstration for Soviet Jewry at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza of the United Nations on Thursday, October 2nd, at 6:30 P.M. The demonstration, which will be called a Simchat Torah celebration, will be held to express solidarity with the young people in the Soviet Union who each year have been congregating at the large synagogues in Moscow and Leningrad to dance on this joyous holiday as an expression of their Jewish identity. We would be most honored if you, who have spoken out on this important issue in the past, could be with us to deliver the major address. We hope your schedule can be so arranged, and would appreciate it greatly if you could let us know as soon as possible so that we can make the necessary arrangements for our publicity and invitations. If there is any additional information that you require, please contact my office, 724-3511. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm Chairman New York Conference on Soviet Jewry

Exchange with R. Rubin about Proposed Seder for Soviet Jewry (1972)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, I am very happy that our paths crossed at the Israeli Dance Festival yesterday. I had written to ask your permission to include “The Dayenu Address” in the Model Seder I compiled. I am glad that I had the opportunity to thank you in person for all that I have learned from your writings. To have been able to do this was important because it was an expression of עקרת הטוב to a person I respect and admire. I am enclosing the Seder Program and hope you like what you read. It was distributed by the Philadelphia office of Bnai Brith to all the lodges in the Eastern Pennsylvania–Delaware State Region. Thank you for letting me use the “Dayenu” selection. I look forward to reading more of your writings as you share them with your reading audience. May you and your family enjoy a meaningful Passover. Very sincerely yours, זבולון ראובן, Rabbi Irving Rubin

Exchange with R. Sandrow about Fundraising for Soviet Jewry (1969)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Please forgive my tardiness in not responding sooner to your letter of October 14th. I was in Israel this past summer and that is where I would like to be all year around. As to the main part of your letter which referred to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, I want you to believe me that I am most sympathetic but at the present time I simply cannot commit myself to the raising of $1,000. To a colleague it is not necessary to repeat the fact that I am involved over my head in causes which cannot raise funds from any other sources. However, if you will be patient with me and will give me until the early Spring, I will try to see that you have some funds. I certainly cannot do it between now and the first of the year. After the first of the year I shall be going to Europe and Israel for meetings at the Hebrew University, etc. but when I come back I will secure some funds. Please acknowledge this letter so I can have it in my active file for action. Sincerely, Edward E. Sandrow
