Letter to R. Soloveitchik about Opening a Pre-School (1953)

לכבוד מורי ורבי הרה"ג וכו' שליט"א, שליט"א, הנני מעיז להיות בין חומסי עתותיו בשאלת הלכה למעשה. אך זכותי לעשות כן מצאתי בדבריו המלהיבים שדבר אלינו רק אתמול לרגלי חג הסמיכה, באמרו עלינו, תלמידיו ומעריציו, להגיש אליו כל השאלות החמורות ולהביא לפניו את כל דבר קשה. השאלה איננה מן השאלות אשר תשובותיהן נמצאות בש"ע, אלא מסוג הבעיות של public relations, ובכן פתרונה נעלם ממני עוד יותר. מרגע הראשון שראיתי תחת השפעת רומע"כ, למדתי להעריך את המפעל של רנין ישיבות – בתי-ספר כל יומיים – כהדרך העיקרי להרבצת התורה.

Letter to Meyer Levin about Providing His Son with a Jewish High School Education (1967)

Dear Mr. Levin: It has come to my attention that you have moved into the neighborhood. As the Rabbi of a nearby Synagogue, and having met you privately, permit me to extend to you the hand of welcome and to wish you and your family a very pleasant and fruitful stay. I have been told that you have a 14 year old son whose Jewish education you will probably want to provider for while in New York. May I therefore inform you that Manhattan Hebrew High School meets in The Jewish Center building and provides quite advanced classes for young men and women of high school age. If you are interested, as I suppose you will be, please do be kind enough to contact me at the above number, or please call the principal, Rabbi P. Oratz, at SC 4-2700 between 4:00-5:00 P.M. any day.Sincerely yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMM
