Letter from Hans Bachrach to Mrs. Weisberger about R. Lamm's Lodging in Australia (1973)

Dear Mrs. Weisberger, thank you very much for your letter of 31st May. We assume that Rabbi and Mrs. Lamm will prefer to stay in a motel rather than at private hospitality which is offered to them, and unless we hear from you to the contrary we shall make such arrangements, except for Friday night when we assume that Rabbi and Mrs. Lamm will accept private hospitality in order to be as close as possible to synagogues and places of Jewish activities. As soon as we get confirmation of the above, we shall advise you of the special phone numbers and addresses. Meanwhile, during business hours c/– the above and c/– 6 St. Aubins Avenue, Caulfield, Vic. 3161, phone number 52.5523 will suffice for contact points. We previously received biographical details of Rabbi Lamm and hope we will get some publicity next week in the Jewish press. However, notes of interest or short articles which you may have available would be appreciated so that additional publicity can be obtained. Kind regards, yours sincerely, H.A. Bachrach

Letter to Hans Bachrach about Change in Australia Itinerary (1973)

Dear Mr. Bachrach: Rabbi Lamm's travel agent just called me to inform me of a slight change in his itinerary. Rabbi Lamm's last contact point before reaching Melbourne is Nandi, and there he can be reached at the Flagship Beach Comber, not the Fijian Hotel. There will only be one stop before Rabbi and Mrs. Lamm reach Nandi, and that is in Honolulu. There they can be reached at the Hilton Hawaiian Village from July 8-10.All my best wishes.Sincerely,(Miss) Chanie WeisbergerSecretary

Letter from Hans Bachrach to Max Stern with Reflections on Australia Trip (1973)

Dear Mr. Stern, Rabbi Norman and Mrs. Lamm have stimulated, electrified and greatly influenced a fair section of our Melbourne community. We were delighted with their visit and we only hope that the heavy schedule which they undertook in this city will be offset by a few days rest before their return to the United States. I'm sure you will be delighted to hear that out of an overall total Jewish population of 35,000 in Victoria, Rabbi Lamm will have addressed at least 4,500 during his stay here. Allowing for the fact that a number of people attended more than one lecture, the Rabbi has had at least 2,000 different people listen to him who will long remember his visit. Most likely you have heard the Rabbi explain that our great Teachers are known by their works rather than by their names; our Teachers and their Book form an identity. Similarly, Rabbi Lamm's lectures were the mirror of his personality and Melbourne loves him for it. We, here in Australia, are grateful to the Jewish Center for allowing the Rabbi sufficient "holidays" for this visit. The Jewish Center is blessed with a great jewel. Please continue to encourage the Rabbi to visit outlying areas and allow him to share his time and energy with Jewry in the rest of the U.S.A. and with us in Australia. Your congregation will be blessed by all the Jews who come in contact with your remarkable genius. In deep gratitude to you and to your congregation, I remain, Sincerely yours, H.A. Bachrach
