Letter from R. Feuchtwanger with Invitation to Become Principal of Jews' College (1961)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, I am sure you have not quite forgotten yet the nice little dinner party we had prior to your trip to India in London at the Kedassia Restaurant together with my brother-in-law, Rabbi S. D. Sassoon and Mr. L. Carmell. This is mainly to place myself in your memory. No doubt you have since heard that last Thursday the Israeli Chief Rabbinate decided that the "Bne Israel" and all other Jews are allowed to inter-marry now. This long awaited and most important decision will of course greatly help towards the consumation of the results of your visit to India. When I read your report of what you had been doing I found it a most lucid and constructive document.What I have written up to now was meant to bring our personal relationship up to date. The reason of my writing to you today is, However, as follows:-You most likely know that Dr. I. Epstein retired as Principal of Jews' College at the end of the summer term.

Zimmels has been appointed Director of Studies, whereas the Chief Rabbi has been appointed President of the College. A similar arrangement prevailed during the interregnum after the passing of Dr. Buechler.

Letter to Max Stern Regarding Distribution of Leo Jung Jubilee Volume (1962)

Dear Mr. Stern: I enclose a letter and an agreement from Bloch Publishing Company as to the distribution of the "Leo Jung Jubilee Volume." We shall be selling the book for $9.50. As you will notice, the agreement calls for a 50¢ return to The Jewish Center, i.e., $.75 net per volume, with an equal amount to the distributor. He will be in charge of advertisements, book reviewers, etc. I called Bloch, who offered me the identical agreement. A number of people with whom I have consulted all feel that Bloch is superior. I would, therefore, recommend that The Jewish Center, through one or two officers, enter the agreement with Bloch according to the enclosed statements.Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMMEncl.
