All information will be treated as confidential. I have known \[name] for many years. He is a man of integrity, piety, and unblemished reputation. He is a prominent Talmudic scholar with a knowledge, as well, of a number of languages and a grounding in general culture.

Letter of Recommendation to Dr. Mirsky for Stern College Professorship (1970)

Dear Dave: Thank you for your thank-you notes... A thought: Since Tova Lichtenstein is leaving for Israel, an excellent replacement would be Mrs. Julius (Hannah) Parnes, who, I understand, is available for the coming academic year. I suggest you contact her directly. If for any reason you hesitate and want to probe first, I shall be glad to be of service. Best wishes for a Chag Sameach.Cordially yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL/e
