Letter to R. Maurice Lamm about Receiving Sefer Emek Halacha (1963)

Dear Moishe: I just received a letter from Uncle in which he expressed astonishment that you never write to him acknowledging receipt of his Sefer (about which he is as proud as can be), which I believe you received from Pop. I suggest that you do Uncle the courtesy of writing to him at 16 Lincoln Street, Jerusalem. Yours, Norman.

Letter to Dr. Tropper about R. Lamm's Bar-Ilan Candidacy (1973)

Dear Danny: I just want to tell you how very very much I personally appreciate the trouble and expense you went to in calling me yesterday (February 6) about the conversation you had concerning me. Although the facts you reported were not supportive of my candidacy, it is far better that I know them than that I be ignorant of them. As I said, I am grateful to you and consider your call an act of genuine friendship. However, I would not at all want the cost of the call to be borne by anyone else but myself. So, without any protests, please please let me know how much the call cost and I will be glad to remit the cost either to you or to Gesher. Furthermore, I implore you not to hesitate but to call me whenever you think you have information that may be useful to me.All my fondest regards to your wife, whom Mindy and I were so pleased to see in Jerusalem when we were there last.Cordially,Rabbi Norman LammNL:cw

Letter from R. Krauss Praising R. Lamm (1985)

לכבוד ידידי היקר הגאון הגדול ר' נחום לאם שליט"א. נשיא וראש ישיבת רבינו יצחק אלחנן. הנני מחשיב את הערכתך המיוחד בקשר עם מאמרי למתנת יום טוב מצויינת. חוששני שאינני ראוי לזה הלא אותה הוא שהפצת כשרינו כל כך הרבה מתורתך המציא בה והקרנת ללבינו אוצרות נחמדות מבית גנזיך עד שעלינו לומר "שמימך אני שותים ולחמך אנו אוכלים." האצלת עלי ולרבים כמוני יותר מן המצה והרחבת שטח הראות שלנו באופן נפלא – לא רק עי יצירותיך בעולם המחלה אלא גם בעולם המעלה. הצלחת לפלס לנו אני חפלה לד' שתצליח בט מעליך ותמלוך לבצע כל התכניות שלך להגדיל תורה ולהאדירה.באיחולי חג כשר ושמח ובהוקרה מצויינתשמחה
