Letter to Israel Kelman about Gratitude for Hospitality and Assistance in India (1961)

Dear Israel: I have just returned this past week to New York but I want to let you know at once how grateful I am to you for your hospitality and the assistance you so graciously offered me at every step. In Israel I had more than one occasion to sing your praises. I talked about you to Bet Aryeh, Shragai, and all other officials down the line. I do hope that by now you have a working relationship with A. D. Jhirad concerning the educational work of the UOJCI. It will still take some time until I can put into effect all the plans and fill all the requisitions but I hope that in due time all will be done.My very best regards to Yechiel and Mrs. Michael.Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman Lamm
