Letter to Moses Feuerstein about Synagogue Council of America Deliberations on Shechita (1963)

Dear Moe: Enclosed please find the photocopy of the Synagogue Council of America deliberations on Shechitah which you asked to have returned to you. The problem is obviously acute and decisive, but I must refrain from offering any opinion simply because I do not know enough about the matter. I have not been involved in these questions, and therefore do not believe that I am sufficiently competent to pass judgment. Thank you for sending the note to Zalman Posner in Tennessee. I wrote to him son time ago and have not heard from him as yet. Warmest regards. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter to Israeli Dept. of Absorption about Presiding at Wedding Ceremony (1969)

To Whom it May Concern: This letter will serve as an official declaration of intent to preside at the wedding ceremony of Dr. Rafael Kutscher of 36 Palmach Street, Jerusalem, to Miss Carol Bosworth of New York on December 21st, 1969. As an Orthodox Rabbi, I naturally expect, and insist, that the wedding will be completely in accordance with Jewish law, and hence completely acceptable to the Israeli Rabbinate. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
