My dear Mr. Frank: I recently acceded to the request of U.O.J.C.A. to make a visit to India in order to speak to and help organize the Indian Jewish community. I wonder if I might impose upon you to volunteer year own services in some measure towards the reviving of traditional Judaism in a Jewish community neglected for over 2,000 years by their brethren of the West.

Specifically, I would lite to haws fashioned for them a "Luach containing the following: the time for candle lighting and the time for Matzoa Shabbat, and the times for the beginning and end of the Yom Kippur Fast for several years to come. This has to be constructed especially for Bombay, but also for Calcutta, Delhi and Cochin.

Do you think I can count upon your assistance in this matter? I hope to be leaving in January, please G-d. I am sure that both the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations and the Indian Jews will Join me in an expression of gratitude to you for your help.

Sincerely yours,

Rabbi Norman Lamm
