Exchange with Dr. Arnold Hoffman about R. Lamm's Article Being Chosen at Panel Attended by Bostoner Rebbe (1966)

My dear Rabbi Lamm, I thought you might be interested in knowing that at last week's college weekend, arranged by the "Bostoner Rebbe" and Congregation Beth Pincus, the subject matter for panel discussion was, "State of Jewish Belief." The panel chose your article as the basis for the discussion, copies of which were distributed before the gathering. These weekends take place regularly as part of a very vigorous college program that has already brought many good results, thanks to the Rebbe's personal involvement and guidance with the students. The panel consisted of Rabbi Aaron Twerski of the Harvard Law School Faculty (shtreimel and bekesha), Mr. Dale Gottlieb of the Graduate School of Philosophy at Brandeis (the Rebbe's protege and Baal Tshuvah), Dr. Nat Leff of the Center for International Affairs at Harvard, and Dr. Yechiel Naimen, Head Physicist at Mithras, Inc., all members deeply involved with our congregation. The evening's discussion was lively and heated, but the final analysis by all was that the 65 boys and girls left greatly inspired. Sincerest best wishes, Sincerely yours, Dr. Arnold Hoffman, College Youth Ch.

Exchange with R. Gerald Kaplan about His Request for Synagogue Bulletins (1963)

My Dear Colleague: I would appreciate it greatly if you would be able to comply with my request in the following areas. A. Please send the first four copies of your synagogue bulletin from Sept. 1963. B. I would appreciate it greatly if you could send me any outline material on your supper lectures which you have held from Sept. 1963. I have written to your brother, Rabbi Maurice Lamm, for copies of his monthly synagogue bulletin from September 1963 on, and I have written to the Fifth Ave. Synagogue and to Congregation Kehillath Jeshurun, 125 E. 85th St., New York City, NY 524-0800. I would like to get from these synagogues a total of three issues each since they all had a bulletin. I therefore would appreciate it greatly if you could send me your issues. This is being done at random on each of these synagogue’s mailing lists and if at all possible, to obtain three issues from their synagogue bulletin from September 1963 until the present issue. I am enclosing a copy of my sermon entitled “Rabbi Stay Alive” and I would like to have your comments on it. Trusting that you will make every effort to comply with the three requests that I have listed in this letter as they are very important to me. Looking forward to hearing from you soon and a joyous Hanukkah and a healthy one to you and your dear ones.Cordially yours,Rabbi Gerald Kaplan
