Dear Norman: Enclosed please find raw and rough draft of the requested text for the jacket. Warmest regards. Cordially, Walter S. Wurzburger. P.S. Please edit, amend, and add.

Tradition has in the short time of its existence won international acclaim for its pioneering contributions.This anthology contains a representative sample of the writings which have helped catapult this Journal of Orthodox Jewish thought, published by the Rabbinical Council of America, to such a leading position among publications addressed to serious, thinking readers.Included among the contributors to this volume are some of the most distinguished thinkers of our time who have enabled traditional Judaism to come to grips with the challenge of modem thought and experience.The material presented in this anthology was selected and compiled, with the guidance of Tradition's Editorial Board, by Rabbis Norman Lamm and Walter S. Wurzburger, first and current editors of this Journal respectively. The essays comprising this Treasury not only afford invaluable insight into the contemporary relevance of classical Jewish categories of thought, but provide a fresh perspective upon a variety of social and intellectual issues agitating the modern mind.Addressing themselves to a wide gamut of exciting subjects, the selections offered here are arranged under the following headings: Religious Experience and the Halakhah; Judaism Confronts the World; Theological Perspectives; Halakhah and Contemporary Society; Biblical Studies; Criticism.CC – Klavan – WurzburgerFilling a long felt need to provide a forum for the exposition and formulation of traditional Jewish thought, Tradition has in the short time of its existence won international acclaim for its pioneering contributions.This anthology contains a representative sample …

Letter to Walter Wurzburger Returning Proofs for Tradition (1967)

Dear Walter: I have returned my final page proofs (only front and end material plus my articles) to Mr. Marks. You will, I hope, do the same as soon as possible. I understand that Barry Dov Schwartz recently mailed you an article on Jewish-Christian relations. What was the decision as to whether you print it or not? I am curious. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
