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.

Letter to R. Joseph Lookstein about His Homiletical Essays (1968)

Dear Rabbi Lookstein: Many, many thanks for sending me your splendid new volume of homiletical essays. Reading through them evoked a good deal of nostalgia from me for the "good old days" when you trained me – a nostalgia mingled with the same admiration which has not diminished, but rather increased through the years. I do hope that "Faith and Destiny of Man" is but the first of a series of similar volumes. Once again, therefore, my thanks and congratulations, together with my wishes to you and Mrs. Lookstein, and all your family, for a happy and kosher Passover. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
