Letter from Aaron Kurn about R. Lamm's Preliminary Visit to Kodimoh (1953)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: We are herewith enclosing our check for $75.00 covering your expenses for your two trips to Springfield. May I assure you that it was a pleasure having you with us, and that you made a deep impression upon the members of the congregation. As I mentioned to you we hope that we will come to a decision within ten days relative to your candidacy. With kindest regards, I am, Sincerely, Aaron Kurn, President

Letter from R. Joseph Lookstein to R. Lamm about Installation at Kodimoh (1954)

My dear Lamm: I am enclosing a copy of my letter to your President. You may be sure that I shall try my best to spend the evening with you. Thanks for your note of explanation of the "politics." It is important that I know it because it will undoubtedly colour what I hope to say. My best to your wife and regards from all. Very cordially yours, Joseph H. Lookstein

Letter from Dr. Walter Newman Upon R. Lamm's Departure from Kodimoh (1958)

My dear Rabbi, As you can imagine, I am deeply saddened by the news. However, I want to hurry to tell you that in my eyes you did did no wrong and can do no wrong. Springfield is too small for you, as it was for another man dear to me before you. You have a very great career before you. All I ask of you is not to forget those who not only appreciate you here but more than appreciate you here. And if I do not presume too much thereby, may I say Yevarechecha Adonai v’yishmerecha… Always yours – W. J.
