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. William Brickman about His Articles on Jewish Religious Education (1963)

Dear Bill: Thank you very much for sending me the series of short articles on Jewish Religious Education which you prepared for the University of Notre Dame. My major reaction is one of admiration for your ability to condense so much significant information into so short a space. I found them most interesting, and if anything else of the sort issues from your pen, please be sure to send it on to me. Best regards, Sincerely, Rabbi NORMAN LAMM

Letter to R. Jakobovits Congratulating Him on Lecture (1964)

Dear Menno: I already told you orally how pleased I was with your talk to our Men's Club on Sunday morning. However, upon reflection I am convinced that it was so splendid and timely and appropriate that it deserves acknowledgment in writing. In every way, from content to the method of handling the theme, it was done with consummate skill. You certainly represented the Rabbinate very well indeed. My personal thanks and my very best wishes.Cordially yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMM
