Letter to R. Kowalsky about Fundraising for Emigration of Russian Jew (1971)

Dear Rabbi Kowalsky: It has come to my attention that there is a Jew in Russia, a very dear friend of a dear friend of mine, who is seeking to emigrate. According to the new regulations, he needs a great deal of money to buy his way out. He is himself a Hasidic Jew, most pious, and a descendent of a long line of great rabbis. I would therefore, very much appreciate it if you would arrange to send a package to: [redacted]. Please do me the kindness of informing me that this was taken care of. Cordinally yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Dear Steve: Let me thank you for promising to cooperate in paying the salary of a coordinator of volunteers to assist in the resettlement and integration of Russian Jews in New York, by contributing $1,500 over the next four months. I am sure that you appreciate how important this work is. The funds are needed quite urgently, and I would appreciate at least the first installment as soon as possible. You may make out the check to the Jewish Center Charity Foundation, Inc. All my best regards. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm
