Letter from Chanie Weisberger to Hans Bachrach about Material to Stimulate Interest in Trip to Melbourne (1973)

Dear Mr. Bachrach: This note is in response to your request for more material on Rabbi Lamm which you may want to use to stimulate interest in his visit. I enclose a few excerpts of reviews of two of his books. I hope this will serve the purpose. I trust that we shall shortly receive from you the name, address, and phone lumber of Rabbi Lamm's motel in Melbourne, as well as a fuller itinerary as soon as it becomes available. Sincerely yours, (Miss) Chanie Weisberger, SecretaryA HEDGE OF ROSES: Jewish Insights Into Marriage and Married LifePhilipp Feldheim, Inc.Reviewed by Jerome M. HerzogBlessed with felicity of language. Rabbi Lamm, in this concise volume, discusses family purity in a manner and style particularly suitable to the modern Jew. Employing the modern idiom, he forthrightly and uncondescendingly addresses the Jew of our age who is as much a product of his secular environs as he is of his Jewish background. Where few have ventured to tread previously Rabbi Lamm has admirably succeeded ...”A Hedge of Roses” is an important contribution to a generation that is in dire need of an intelligent appraisal of the tenets and practices of our faith. It is hoped that this tract is made available to every couple entering into marriage as well as those who already are married.As a practitioner of the written word, Rabbi Lamm is a skillful artisan. He has presented us with a lucid, rational, and masterful exposition of the purpose of the laws of family purity. For this, therefore, I have no reservation in extending a bouquet of roses to the author of A HEDGE OF ROSES.FAITH AND DOUBT: Studies in Traditional Jewish ThoughtKtav Publishing House, 1971.Reviewed by Michael WyschogrodNorman Lamm, Professor of Jewish Philosophy at Yeshiva University, Rabbi of The Jewish Center in New York and founder and first editor of TRADITION, is an uncommonly hard working individual.Norman Lamm reads widely, keeps in touch with developments on many fronts and he marshalls his forces in t…

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 to Victor Geller with Suggestions for Future Australia Trips (1973)

Dear Victor: We had a glorious trip to Australia and New Zealand and despite an extremely hectic and arduous time, found the experience exhilarating. I have the feeling that your experience with travel arrangements with that part of the world is not very extensive. My Australian hosts told me that the trip could have been arranged for considerably less than it cost me. I am sending you enclosed some material that may be useful to you in the future. Most of the arrangements that Millie made for me were adequate, although it was necessary for me to make one or two obvious changes in order for my wife and myself to leave and arrive at times closer than those scheduled by Millie. Another point: Millie made reservations for me to stay at the Flagship Beach Comber Hotel in Nadi in the Fiji Islands. When Mindy arrived in Nadi at 5 a.m. she learned that this hotel was in Suva, some three hours away by car. That was not advisable, considering that our whole stay was only 24 hours. We, therefore, made arrangements to another hotel, and I am returning the travel voucher so that you may return to me my deposit of $20. (We notified the Flagship Beach Comber of the cancellation before making our other reservations in Nadi.) Finally, I hope your people were satisfied with whatever assistance I was able to offer through my contacts with Astronaut Travel Service In Melbourne. I hope that you and your family had a pleasant summer. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
