Exchange with R. Lookstein and R. Schneier about Publishing Combined Hertz Siddur and Bible (1965)

Dear colleague: It has been suggested that it might be worthwhile publishing, for our synagogues’ use, a set of five volumes, consisting of the Hertz Siddur and Bible. Each volume would consist of a different Humash, followed by the Sabbath morning section of the Hertz Siddur. Even before checking into the expenses involved, I would like to have your reactions as to the advisability and feasibility of this project. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Exchange with R. Rabinowitz about Request to Write on Jewish Attitude Toward Gentiles (1970)

My dear Rabbi Lamm, I hope this letter finds you well. Knowing how busy you are, I am hesitant to approach on the subject which follows, but I have an idea, which I hope is correct, that you would welcome this assignment. I am enclosing herewith an article by Dr. D. Sperber on Gentiles in the Talmud, and I think you will agree that it is a competent article. On the other hand, it restricts itself severely, as he was requested to do, to the Talmudic aspect. Would you agree, taking the existence of this article into consideration, to write a more comprehensive additional article on the general Jewish attitude towards Gentiles as a whole. If you agree, which I earnestly hope you will, we would like an article of up to 2,000 words. Should you unfortunately find yourself unable to do so, can you immediately by return recommend someone who can do it. In fact, to save time, I would rely on your judgement and request you to ask someone else to do the article. With grateful thanks in anticipation, and kindest personal regards, Yours sincerely, Dr. L. I. Rabinowitz

Exchange with R. Werdiger about Siddur Project (1973)

לקראת השנה החדשה הנני בא לברך את כבוד ידידי ואת אשתו ובני ביתו ואנשי קהילתו יחיו – שתזכו כולכם ונזכה כולנו לכתיבה וחתימה טובה בספר החיים והשלום. שתהא השנה הבאה שנת גאולה שלמה. אכיר לו תודה עמוקה אם יזכירני למוכ״ר אצל הגבאים יחיו שיכבדו אותי, כלום עם עבודת הקודש שלי לכבוד ראש השנה, וזכות המצוה תעמוד להם בזה ובבא. דומני שכבודו מעריך די הצורך עבודת הקודש שלי והנחיצות בזמננו לעבודה מסוג זה לסוכת הרכים המשתוקקים כבר בכליון עיניים לחלק בסל הסידור. והנני מסיים בברכה כפולה לכבוד החגים הבאים לקראתנו – שנזכה לחוג אותם מתוך שמחה של מצוה, הרחבת הדעת ושלוות הנפש.
