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 to R. Schonfeld about Rabbinic Alumni Dinner in His Honor (1967)

Dear Fabian: I just received word of the forthcoming honor which will be tendered to you by the Rabbinic Alumni on April 2nd and 3rd. Because the letter is unclear as to exactly when the dinner in your honor will be held, I find myself in a bit of a quandary. I had long ago accepted a lecture engagement for Sunday night, April 2nd in Flushing. I hope very fervently that your dinner will be held at some other time because I am anxious to be present personally to pay you tribute.Good luck and best regards,Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz

Letter to R. Soloveitchik about His Invitation to Joshua Lamm's Bar Mitzvah Seudah (1969)

לכבוד מו״ר הגדול שליט״א, אחדש״ת, הריני מתכבד לשלוח המחאה רצו״ד שמע״כ מחלק לצדקה כדרכו, ומוכן אני לציית לו ככל יושר יצווה עלי. לפני כמה שבועות הודעתי למע״כ על הד״מ של בני יהושע ז״י דפרשת וישלח אי״ה, ואח״כ שלחתי לו הזמנה להשתתף עמנו בסעודת משתה ובסיום למשניות סדר נזיקין, שיתקיים ביום א׳ לסדר ויצא. יודע אני כמה מעמיסים על כת״ר, וחס אנוכי על עתותיו הן ועל כוחותיו, ולכן לא האמנתי שיכבדני.
