Letter to Kaufmann Family Wishing Mazel Tov on Birth of a Baby Girl (1964)

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kaufmann: It was with a great deal of joy that we read the announcement of the birth of Rachel Beth last November 25th. We hasten to express to you our belated, but truly genuine and deeply felt congratulations. May the Almighty grant that the two of you be blessed with undiminished joy, happiness, and pride in the young lady. And, just as her name is beautifully Biblical, so may you derive from her true Jewish "Nachas" as she grows up to a full human being and a full Jewess.I hope that your move to Massachusetts has been a felicitous one, and that your work is going well. I am anxiously looking forward to your next book, and I wish you great success in it.Please do let me hear from you.Very best regards from my wife,Cordially yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMM

Letter to R. Weisfogel Congratulating Him on Assuming Kodimoh Pulpit (1959)

Dear Alex: While I do not know if it is yet official, I do know that it is final, and I therefore hasten to offer you my warmest congratulations and best wishes upon your election as Rabbi of Kodimoh, a synagogue in which I spent five of my happiest years. Kodimoh has many problems, and it will not take you long to acquaint yourself with them. But there are also great opportunities in Kodimoh – enthusiastic youngsters, eager-to-learn young couples, people groping yet willing to follow. The younger people, especially those connected with the Day School, will bring you great satisfaction and happiness. As for the others – I know that you will meet the challenges and give an excellent account of yourself. If there is anything I can ever do for you, please let me know. – Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
