Letter to Dr. Philip Birnbaum about His Doctoral Thesis and Jewish Center Lecture (1963)

Dear Dr. Birnbaum: Many thanks for sending to me a copy of your book, "The Arabic Commentary of Yefet," your doctoral thesis. I hope to read it carefully at the first opportunity. At the same time, permit me to express to you my thanks and those of my entire congregation for your splendid and inspiring talk this past Saturday afternoon, which I am sure encouraged all your listeners to dedicate themselves with renewed interest to both study and teaching of the "Hidden Treasures of Hebrew Literature." I do hope we shall have many opportunities to hear you at The Center in the future.Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL\:ff

Letter to Dr. Liebman about Scheduling a Lecture for Him (1972)

Dear Charles: I have searched about, here and there, and as of now cannot find a lecture for you during the approximate period of May 23-June 5. However, I certainly will keep it in mind if anything comes up. My own congregation cannot schedule anything during this period for a variety of reasons. I am surprised you think you need a new suit. With a halo about your sacred head, and all the horns of profound knowledge emanating from your Michaelangelo-like, who is going to notice a mere suit? See you when you get here. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter to R. Yitz Greenberg about Fee for His Lecture (1974)

Dear Yitz, I am pleased to enclose a check for $360, the fee for your splendid talk that last Sunday night. You were, as I stated publicly, exceedingly stimulating. There is much, very much, that I have to add to what I said publicly about the substantive points of your position. However, I suppose that will have to wait for another occasion. Mindy joins me in affectionate regards to Blu. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm
