Exchange with Charles Bendheim about Jewish Center Annual Mikvah Contribution (1972)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: The writer wishes to refer to his letter to you of April 14, regarding your pledge of an annual contribution of $1,000.00, as an ongoing contribution for the maintenance of our Mikvah on West 78th Street. As you were advised at the meeting at the home of Mr. Bendheim on April 11, the funds are sorely needed, and you indicated that we can normally expect the above amount as a lump sum by Rosh Hashanah of each year. To date we have not received any monies honoring your pledge, and in view of the need for funds at this time, I would appreciate if you could arrange to forward a check to the attention of the writer. Thanking you for your cooperation, and with kindest personal regards, Very truly yours, C. H. Bendheim

Exchange with R. Joseph Lookstein about Repaying Wurzweiler Foundation Loan for Mikvah (1970)

My dear Emanuel: I am writing to you almost as a last resort. Previous efforts made by others brought no results. I think that you and I can bring these results. The Foundation, some years ago, contributed $12,500 to the Jewish Women’s Club, which we call the Mikveh. This was a one-time generous contribution, for in course of any kind of consideration that the late Gustave Wurzweiler would have given. In addition to the above gift, the Foundation put up $40,000 worth of securities as collateral for the Jewish Women’s Club’s mortgage so that it may be able to obtain a loan for its needs. We did it as an act of good will and generosity for an institution that was in great difficulty at the time. For what we did, no one has regrets. Certainly I have no regrets. Unfortunately, the loan was never repaid nor were the securities returned, a point to which even the Jewish Women’s Club could, even tacitly, scarcely pay much attention. As a matter of fact, due to the interest it accrued, the Foundation was advancing the interest for approximately the last two years.

Letter from R. Joseph Lookstein to Barry Eisenberg about Financial Support for the Mikvah (1975)

My dear Barry: I have your letter of January 21, 1975, which I turned over to the counsel of the Wurzweiler Foundation. He will probably be in touch with you. The Wurzweiler Foundation is anxious to be cooperative and helpful. I am afraid, however, that the offer that you made is hardly acceptable. Incidentally, it does not entirely conform to the discussion held in my office on December 27, 1974 in the presence of your dear father-in-law and my good friend Charlie Bendheim. You will undoubtedly be hearing from our lawyer soon, and I hope that you will prove as cooperative as we are anxious to prove helpful. Very cordially yours, Joseph H. Lookstein.
