Letter from R. Harold Gordon about R. Lamm's Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination (1963)

Dear Colleague, I hear that you delivered a beautiful sermon of tribute to President Kennedy yesterday at the Jewish Center. Of course, by now I am not at all surprised when anyone brings me information concerning your sermons. I have yet to listen to any one of them that was not top rank. With all good wishes, I am cordially, Rabbi Harold H. Gordon.

Letter to Jakob Michael about Circulating Sermon on President Kennedy's Assassination (1963)

Dear Mr. Michael: I am enclosing a bill from the printer for the preparation of "The Sun Has Set," the sermon I delivered the day after the assassination of President Kennedy. I am always grateful to you when you sponsor such publication of my talks, but this time I am especially appreciative. I have never had so many demands for copies of the talk. As a matter of fact, I have no more than one half dozen copies left, because of the requests that were made for them. If my words had any effect, I would like you to know that it is you who is responsible for giving them circulation and the ability to be heard. I suggest the check be made out to The Jewish Center, and we will then pay the bill accordingly. I need not tell you that I hope and pray every day for the recovery of Mrs. Michael and the restoration of all members of the family to complete and happy health. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
