Letter from Chanie Weisberger to Hans Bachrach about Invitation to Lecture in Caulfield, Australia (1973)

Dear Mr. Bachrach: After finishing the enclosed letter, Rabbi Lamm received your letter of June 14 and he has asked me to respond to you as follows: He will be pleased to accept the invitation of Rabbi Gutnick and the president of the Caulfield synagogue to occupy the pulpit on the Shabbat he will be spending at Caulfield. He does not believe it necessary to give a subject for his talk. Perhaps it would be just as well to announce that Dr. Lamm will preach the sermon, and leave it without a title.He accepts your suggestion to decline Rabbi Rapaport’s invitation to speak at his synagogue, and he will be delighted to accept the invitation to meet with all the Orthodox rabbis at lunchon on Monday, July 17.Rabbi Lamm asked me se send you his warmest regards.Sincerely,Miss Chanie Weisberger

Letter to Hans Bachrach about Change in Australia Itinerary (1973)

Dear Mr. Bachrach: Rabbi Lamm's travel agent just called me to inform me of a slight change in his itinerary. Rabbi Lamm's last contact point before reaching Melbourne is Nandi, and there he can be reached at the Flagship Beach Comber, not the Fijian Hotel. There will only be one stop before Rabbi and Mrs. Lamm reach Nandi, and that is in Honolulu. There they can be reached at the Hilton Hawaiian Village from July 8-10.All my best wishes.Sincerely,(Miss) Chanie WeisbergerSecretary

Letter from Hans Bachrach to Max Stern with Reflections on Australia Trip (1973)

Dear Mr. Stern, Rabbi Norman and Mrs. Lamm have stimulated, electrified and greatly influenced a fair section of our Melbourne community. We were delighted with their visit and we only hope that the heavy schedule which they undertook in this city will be offset by a few days rest before their return to the United States. I'm sure you will be delighted to hear that out of an overall total Jewish population of 35,000 in Victoria, Rabbi Lamm will have addressed at least 4,500 during his stay here. Allowing for the fact that a number of people attended more than one lecture, the Rabbi has had at least 2,000 different people listen to him who will long remember his visit. Most likely you have heard the Rabbi explain that our great Teachers are known by their works rather than by their names; our Teachers and their Book form an identity. Similarly, Rabbi Lamm's lectures were the mirror of his personality and Melbourne loves him for it. We, here in Australia, are grateful to the Jewish Center for allowing the Rabbi sufficient "holidays" for this visit. The Jewish Center is blessed with a great jewel. Please continue to encourage the Rabbi to visit outlying areas and allow him to share his time and energy with Jewry in the rest of the U.S.A. and with us in Australia. Your congregation will be blessed by all the Jews who come in contact with your remarkable genius. In deep gratitude to you and to your congregation, I remain, Sincerely yours, H.A. Bachrach
