Exchange with Isaac Shalom about Invitation to Join Ozar HaTorah Board of Directors (1964)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: It gives me much pleasure to extend to you a cordial invitation to join the Board of Directors of the Ozar Hatorah.

Looking forward to many years of fruitful cooperation, I am confident that you will accept this invitation and remain with best wishes. Sincerely yours, Ozar Hatorah, Inc. Isaac Shalom, President

Correspondence

Exchange with R. Wengrov about Soliciting Fellowships for the Torah Fellowship Foundation (1963)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Pursuant to your conversation of today with Rabbi Kasher, I am enclosing the rough draft of a letter which with your permission we should like to send over your signature (or Rabbi Jakobovits’) to the people on the enclosed list, as well as a number of others that you kindly offered to furnish us. Would you please inform me if and how the letter might benefit by revision, and would you kindly provide me with the above-mentioned additional names, as well as about 50 pieces of your stationery (and perhaps too a sample of your signature, to be “forged”). For Rabbi Kasher, I tender heartfelt thanks. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Charles Wengrov

In my present condition, I came to reside at this nursing home in [redacted], and I accommodated myself tightly. It is also near a lot of people that I know from the Synagogue, so it is thoughtful and the best place to live at the present. The home and nursing schedule is nice, and I have many other familiar schoolmates and friends of mine, and the brothers and sisters do not lack company. In fact, the recreation is on a certain scale and I can come once weekly and listen to Sunday music, and I admit that it adds all with. Besides that, we taken out quite a few of my $730 with me, and eventually will bring out the rest when the year of rent is up. I hope to bring out my high fidelity set and records so that perhaps I will begin to feel at home. Several of the boys are able to visit and call every once in awhile, but I suppose that is over for the time being, or at least as long as our Orthodox cousins prefer to be haughty and fight the hand that tries to pull them into itself. Some of us announced their quiet evening Friday services when they recite their Krias in Bible, which they also conduct on Shabbos and Yom Tov and wanted to take me at times to picnics or gala affairs where everyone was arranged to taste of the Torah. Otherwise many of the youth home and camp projects for the children have items in common with our projects here and there. But I perioded for me a convenient place to sit and sleep and all necessaries provided including strictly K…
