Exchange with R. Joseph Lookstein about "A Hedge of Roses" Distribution (1968)

My dear Norman: I am writing to you because I do not know to whom else to write. Forgive me, therefore, for troubling you. I would like to get ten copies of your book entitled The Hedge of Roses. I want to distribute them among couples that I know. Would you tell me how I can obtain that, or can you take care of it yourself? Naturally, I want to be billed for those books. Thank you for your attention and all good wishes always. Very cordially yours, Joseph H. Lookstein

Exchange with R. Maurice Wohlgelernter about Pamphlets on R. Kook and Marriage (1966)

Dear Nochum: I chanced upon your pamphlet Rav Kook: Man of Faith and Vision, published by the Jewish National Fund. It reads beautifully and covers the highlights of his life and thought. I regret only the omission of his views on Kodesh Vechol discussed so excellently in your article in the Leo Jung Jubilee Volume. But, in a work designed principally for the uninitiated laymen, this, needless to say, is a minor caveat. I understand you are issuing a pamphlet on the "Jewish Concept of Marriage." If possible, let me have a copy on publication. I trust all is well. Warmest personal regards.Sincerely yours, Maurice Wohlgelerntner

Exchange with R. Tokayer about "A Hedge of Roses" (1966)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Please permit me to express my appreciation for the fine work, A Hedge of Roses. What impressed me and the people I introduced to your analysis of so delicate a subject was your fresh and meaningful approach to so ancient a subject. It brings to life for the contemporary Jew a performance that for the first time carries with it the true element of the spiritual rather than the rite of the superstitious. It induces the non-observant Jewish couple to wonder and contemplate the very essence of Judaism in its most intimate and basic terms. Once again permit me to add my small y’yasher koach. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Shmuel Tokayer
