Exchange with Dr. Kaminetsky about Abridging Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination (1963)

Dear Norman: Thank you for your letter of December 5th and I can see your point. I will choose your latter alternative. You write the accompanying editorial note, abbreviate the article and I will carry on from there. I would not think of passing up a chance to print an article under what has become now a famous by-line, baruch Hashem, Rabbi Norman Lamm. Good luck to you on your trip to South Africa. Sincerely yours, Dr. Joseph Kaminetsky

Exchange with Senator Javits about R. Lamm's Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination (1963)

Dear Senator Javits: On November 23, 1963, Rabbi Norman Lamm preached a sermon to the congregation of The Jewish Center, 131 West 86th Street, New York City, entitled “The Sun Has Set” – a tribute to President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The entire congregation was so greatly moved by the tribute that it requested copies of the sermon. Hence, I am enclosing this grateful homage in words to you for your perusal and if I may suggest, it is worthy of inclusion in the Congressional Record as a statement from the Jewish Community on our terrible loss. Sincerely yours, Samuel M. Badian

Exchange with Toba Kimball about R. Lamm's Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination (1964)

Dear Rabbi, belatedly, but nonetheless sincerely, we want you to know of our deep appreciation for sending us your sermon. The sermon given as a tribute to J.F. Kennedy was fantastic and it will be kept and reread by us many times. We are all well here. With Gary away at school and Ilene leaving in September, Nardy and I feel that we are almost entering into our original status of aloneness. A cycle almost complete. It does give funny and sad steps to think of it.
