Letter from R. David Hartman with Invitation to Conference on the Study and Advancement of Judaism (1970)

Dear Norman: Our Conference this year will be held from Monday, June 22nd, through to Sunday, June 28th, at Auberge Lala Truite, Trout Lake, Quebec (Tel. No: area code 819, 326-3408). We hope that you will be able to stay over until Sunday (June 28th) in order to spend Shabbas with us, as it is very important for the spirit of our community that we spend Shabbas together. If you cannot, for some reason, stay for Shabbas, please indicate this on the attached sheet.Due to our financial strain this year, we are unable to cover the expenses of wives who may accompany their husbands to the Conference. I hope that you understand. As a matter of fact, if anyone could raise some money for the Segals Center within their own community, it would be greatly appreciated.It would be preferred if children did not accompany Conference participants, but if it is necessary that children are brought along, please indicate this as well on the attached sheet.We will be leaving from Montreal at 4:30 p.m. by bus. We will be meeting together beforehand (from 1:00 p.m. onwards) at the De Sola Club, 3636 Ontario Avenue, Montreal 18, telephone number: 845-0430. When you arrive in Montreal, please proceed directly to the De Sola Club. Taxi expenses will be covered by the Segals Center.The program for the Conference is attached. In the meantime, we shall be mailing to you, compliments of the Segals Center, copies of Emil Fackenheim's new book, *God's Presence in History*; as well as Moshe Greenberg's article on the relationship of the Jew and the non-Jew; Nahum Goldmann's article on *The Future of Israel*, and Isaiah Leibowitz’s article on *The Spiritual and Religious Meaning of Victory and Might*.Please return the attached sheet.

Letter from Rabbi Warhaftig Regarding Offer of Bar-Ilan University Presidency (1973)

ר. נ., קבלתי מכתבך מיום י' סיון תשל״ג. אני מודה לך על המלים החמות. נהנתי מכל פגישה אתך ואתה יודע כמה רציתי שתקבל על עצמך את האחריות למפעל הגדול של בר-אילן, זהו מוסד חשוב בעל תפקידים גדולים ואני מקוה שמצפה לו עתיד גדול. בבר-אילן מעוצבת במדה מרובה דמותה של המנהיגות הדתית העתידה בישראל. חבל שהתכנית לא יצאה לפועל. אני עדיין מצטער על שלא החלטת להכנס לעול למרות כל המכשולים. אני מכבד אח החלטתך ואני בטוח שהיחסים בינינו, האישיים והעניניים ישארו ידידותיים ואני מקווה שתמשיך גם בידידותך ובעזרתך לבר-אילן.האחריות לבעיות התמורות של העם היהודי ובמיוחד של היהדות הדתית, מקרבת וצריכה לקרב כל אותם יהודים המפוזרים בעולם והכואבים את כאב עמם ותורתם.בברכה,ז. ורהפטיג
