Exchange with Mrs. Feldman about Distributing "A Hedge of Roses" to a Family Purity Group (1966)

Gentlemen: For the past three years, our Ladies' Auxiliary of the Mikvah of Baltimore jointly with the Women's Branch U.O.J.C. has been sponsoring public lectures on the subject of Taharas Hamishpocho with well-known out-of-town speakers. (Actually our organization does the work but for various advantages for both organizations, we sponsor it jointly.) ב"ה we've been quite successful in getting a fine response from the community. We usually average between 200 and 300 people. After the lecture, we distribute booklets on the subject. We've just received the booklet by Rabbi Norman Lamm on this topic, and from what I've read so far, am extremely pleased with this book. It is well written; much research has gone into it; his entire method of presentation will certainly appeal to the more intellectual young people. The small pamphlets we've been distributing have cost us a very nominal sum, but we would very much like to distribute Rabbi Lamm's booklet, and wonder whether you can give us a special rate.Once a year, we also sponsor a Bridal Tea to which we invite all ׳—/^^ and /^Lj^^ for the year, have a speaker, give them the U.O.J.C. booklet on Kashrus and a booklet on Taharas Hamishpocho. For this particular affair, Rabbi Lamm's book would certainly be extremely appropriate.The problem now is a financial one. The only income our organization has is from the §5.00 annual dues which each member pays. This money goes towards the upkeep of the Mikvah.Would you please let me know what would be the minimum charge for Rabbi Lamm's book and whether there is any possibility of receiving some as a con-tribution towards our projects.I am the cultural chairman of our organization and have been chairman of these lectures for the past few years. I've also been conducting lectures on this topic to smaller groups.We would be sincerely appreciative for any cooperation you can offer us. Since this year's lecture is scheduled׳-(^׳/cfor Sunday, June 5th, we would appreciate you giving t…

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. 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
