Exchange with R. Borvick about Congregation Vote to Erect Mechitzah (1964)

Dear Norman: I think it would interest you to know that my Congregation last night unanimously voted to place a "Mechitzah" in our new Synagogue. You have always been a great inspiration to me and your excellent dissertation in Tradition on separate pews in the Synagogue was of very great assistance to me. For all of this I am very appreciative. With best wishes to you and to yours, Sincerely, Rabbi Irwin S. Borvick

Exchange with R. Strassfeld about "Separate Pews in the Synagogue" (1959)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: I have just completed reading your excellent article in Tradition, and I want to compliment you on the very fine presentation of a very difficult problem. I would suggest that the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations reprint this article in brochure form and make it available to its affiliated congregations, as well as the public. I consider this one of the finest expositions on the problem of mixed pews. At the same time, I want to compliment you on the high standard of scholarship and the varied material that appears in TRADITION. With best personal wishes, I remain, Sincerely, Rabbi Myer J. Strassfeld
