Exchange with Dr. Neuschloss about Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Translation Project (1974)

My dear Norman, As promised on Friday I am giving you the translation of סימן ע״ה as an example of the work I plan to do אי״ה during the summer.

Exchange with R. Elkanah Schwartz about Reconvening "Chavrusa" (1967)

Dear Rav Lamm: I hope this note finds you and yours in the best of health. You might recall the wonderful moments of “Chavrusas” of a few years ago. One of the moving spirits was Rabbi Jacobovits. I wish to recommend a reconvening of the group, but not for just another Tzaychem L’Shalom. During his tenure on these shores, Rabbi Jacobovits undoubtedly drew some impressions which he would be interested in sharing with a few yichedey segulah, outside the rigidity of the established organizations. (I base this remark not on knowledge but on assumption.) Should you and he be interested, I would be happy to forward the “Chavrusas” list. I leave this matter to your respected judgement. Looking forward to good news on all fronts, I remain Sincerely yours, Elkanah Schwartz

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
