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 Dr. Fox about His Commentary Magazine Reviews (1964)

Dear Marvin: Thank you very much for the clippings of your two reviews from ”Commentary.״ Not only am I happy to see that stylistically and content-wise, you are up to par, but I am even more delighted by the fact that you so resoundingly confirm my various opinions, prejudices, and biases! I hope your problem, about which you called me, has been successfully resolved with the assistance of the Beth Din. I enclosed two reprints in which you may be vaguely interested. My fondest regards to June and the children. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
