Letter to Mrs. Neumark Soliciting Article on Proceedings of Testimonial Dinner for Rabbi Jung (1962)

Dear Mrs. Neumark: I wonder if I might impose upon you for a small favor. I know that you will be present on Sunday, p.G., at the Testimonial Dinner for Rabbi Jung. We are anxious to print an article in our concluding bulletin of the year describing the proceedings of the evening. I know that the articles submitted by you for the bulletin are always in excellent taste, neither overstating nor understating the case. May we therefore count upon you to write up the affair with your usual charm and submit it to us for inclusion in our bulletin?The deadline for it is fast approaching. I know that I can count on you.Best wishes to your husband and children.Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL\:ff

Letter to Dr. Philip Birnbaum about His Doctoral Thesis and Jewish Center Lecture (1963)

Dear Dr. Birnbaum: Many thanks for sending to me a copy of your book, "The Arabic Commentary of Yefet," your doctoral thesis. I hope to read it carefully at the first opportunity. At the same time, permit me to express to you my thanks and those of my entire congregation for your splendid and inspiring talk this past Saturday afternoon, which I am sure encouraged all your listeners to dedicate themselves with renewed interest to both study and teaching of the "Hidden Treasures of Hebrew Literature." I do hope we shall have many opportunities to hear you at The Center in the future.Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL\:ff

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
