Exchange with Dr. Neuschloss about Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Translation Project (1974)

My dear Norman, As promised on Friday I am giving you the translation of סימן ע״ה as an example of the work I plan to do אי״ה during the summer. I am extremely sorry that this sample is only hand-written, but I explained the unfortunate reason for it. Needless to say, the rest of the work will be type-written – כדת או כדין. Needless to say, I'll be anxious to hear from you as soon as you can. In any case, we will have to meet again פנים אל פנים to iron out some

Letter to R. Gedalia Felder about Question from Baal Teshuva (1966)

Dear Rabbi Felder: I would like to turn to you for your opinion on a question that falls directly within your field of competence. The enclosed is a copy of a letter which I received from a young man who has turned Orthodox (from Reconstructionism!) within the last several months. He is a thoroughly genuine individual, and I would like to offer him an authentic solution for his problems. You may be sure that I deeply appreciate your expert assistance. Very truly yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm.

Follow-up letter to Bernard Marks about Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Translation Project (1974)

Dear Mr. Marks: Dr. Neuschloss has finally mailed to me his sample copy of the translation, and partial updating, using that portion of the קיצור שלחן ערוך which deals with candle lighting on Friday night. Frankly, I am so overwhelmed in this season that I have not yet had the time to look at it. However, it is perhaps best that way – so that you may see for yourself, without my editing, what he has accomplished, comparing it (if you wish) with Golden.Please do be kind enough to let me have back this original as soon as possible, because I will want to review it immediately after the Shavuot holiday. Meanwhile, do be well and my best wishes for a very happy holiday.Cordially,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNLicwEnc.
