Exchange with R. Isadore Twersky about Joining YU's Ragosin Center for Ethics (1966)

Dear Dr. Lamm: I have been acting as consultant for the recently established Ragosin Center for Ethics at Yeshiva University, and it is in this capacity that I write in order to invite you to join a very small group of scholars, men of learning and vision, whom we would like to have serve as associates of this Institute. We envisage this group having a twofold relationship to the Institute. In the first instance, associates will, of course, be invited to attend all lectures and colloquia arranged by the Institute but will also be encouraged to submit monographs for publication in the Institute Series. Secondly, we would hope that the associates will function collectively as an informal advisory council which could provide imaginative criticism and creative suggestions for the future development of the Institute. I hope very much that you will be able to join us at a luncheon meeting to be held in Dr. Belkin’s office on Thursday, June 30, at 1:00 p.m. It would help if you would kindly notify Mrs. Michaels, secretary to Dr. Belkin, about your intentions to attend this meeting. With best wishes, Sincerely, Isadore Twersky. P.S. Your expenses will gladly be reimbursed by the Institute.

Exchange with R. Jakobovits about the Torah Fellowship Foundation (1963)

Dear Rabbi Jakobovits: The enclosed letter from Rabbi Lookstein to me will explain the situation with regard to his supposed commitment to obtain fellowships for Rabbi Kasher’s project. I suggest you inform Rabbi Kasher personally, at the meeting, of Rabbi Lookstein’s clarification. Please be kind enough not to show the letter itself to anyone, but to return it to me after you have read it. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Exchange with R. Wengrov about the Torah Fellowship Foundation (1963)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: At the meeting of April 29, nifkad moshavecha. We were exactly four: Rabbi Jakobovits, Dr. Mandel, myself, and Gerson Bernstein. The meeting was relatively brief (three quarters of an hour) and was followed by a guided tour of the Fifth Avenue Synagogue. The date of the next meeting was set for June 3. Please take note. Now, we have a copy of the letter which Rabbi Lookstein wrote you on March 19, and Rav Kasher saw it before his departure. He instructed me then to send you the rough draft of an answer which the letter requires, and to ask you, in your kindness, to polish it as necessary and send it to Rabbi Lookstein. Unfortunately, today is the first opportunity I’ve found to attend to the matter. On May 12 there is to be a board meeting of the Wurzweiler Foundation, of which Rabbi Lookstein is president. We are hoping that he will authorize three fellowships (his vote or opinion will be the deciding factor) and it might be helpful if he receives his answer early next week. With all good wishes, I am, Sincerely yours, Rabbi Charles Wengrov. P.S. – I spoke to Dr. Mandel and he said he would contact you about seeing Mr. Joseph S. Shaw et al. If he doesn’t, please let me know.
