Letter to Baruch Litvin about His Book on Jewish Identity (1966)

Dear Mr. Litvin: It was a pleasure to hear from you and learn that you and your family are all well. I have had the opportunity, since seeing you last, to read through parts of your excellent work, "Jewish Identity," and I must say that it certainly is a worthwhile work and one that deserved publication and the effort you put into it. I do not believe myself competent to offer you any advice as to whether it should be printed in pocketbook edition. My information is that pocketbook editions normally sell very well, but I am quite naive about the financial complications.I am asking my secretary to send you several of the more recent Bulletins, so that you can "keep in contact."Please give my very fondest regards to Mrs. Litvin and members of the family.Sincerely yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL/le

Letter to Norman Winkler about Borrowed Copy of "Faith of Judaism" (1969)

Dear Mr. Winkler: This is to inform you that I am desperately in need of my personal copy of Epstein's "Faith of Judaism" which you kidnapped some time ago. I am willing to ransom it for any amount or book you may state. But I must have my own book back, if only for sentimental reasons, actually for more cogent ones. Please recall that kidnapping, according to our tradition, is banned as one of the Ten Commandments. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
