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 Barry Schwartz Regarding Article Submitted to Tradition (1967)

Dear Barry: Thanks for sending me your brochures which I read with interest. Your article submitted to Tradition had been distributed to a number of editors for their comments. Today I wrote to Rabbi Wurzburger asking for the final editorial decision on the manuscript. As soon as I hear from him I hope to notify you. Incidentally, there is a young couple that belonged to our Synagogue but whom I have not yet been able to meet because they are in service. Since they are in Westover, I hope you will find the time to contact them and convey to them my best wishes. They are Capt. and Mrs. Joseph Elfenbein, 2C Malcolm Street, Westover AFB.All good wishes and best regards,Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz
