Exchange with Dr. Hoenig about Request for Pamphlets on Jewish Philosophers for Military Chaplain (1965)

Dear Norman: The written word always follows the oral. May I remind you to send copies of your various pamphlets on Saadya, Kook etc. to mv son, who is a Chaplain in Alaska. I know he will gain much therefrom, being inspired himself and inspire others. His address is: Chaplain Joseph I. Hoenig, CMR #1, APO Box 514 Seattle, Wash. 98742. Thank you ever so much and with kindest regards to your family and all good wishes for a happy Pesach. Cordially, Dr. Sidney B. Hoenig, Director of Adult Education

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…

Letter to R. Rosen about a "Righteous Gentile" (1970)

לכ' האי גברא רבה, ידידי ומכובדי, הרה"ג מוההרד"מ רונן שליט"א, רב הכולל במזיגת רומני', החיים והשלום! זה זמן כבוד שהתבאינו ושוחחני איש עם רעהו, ואזכרוני אני משתעשע מפעם לפעם עך חרתם ימים נחמדים שבלינו בנעימים יחל עם משפחותינו במיומי אשר בפלורידה. נוסף לזה, הנני נמנה דין הקוראים הנאמנים של מאמריו המאלפים בכתשיעת פיול תחת השגחתו. הנני כותב כעת לשם מטרה מיוחדת חזן בית הכנסת שלי, ר' יוסף הנדלר, מילידיסטמר, תומך כמיטב יכלתו בנכרית אחת הגרה דסטמר במלל חסדה אליו ואל משפחתו בזמן השואה הנוראה.
