Letter to Moses Feuerstein about Chairman of OU Publications Committee (1962)

Dear Moe: This is to remind you of our telephone conversation last night, in which I recommended that Paul Baris be appointed as Chairman of the Publications Commission. Paul's addresses and phone numbers are as follows: 262 Central Park West, TR 7-7093; 26 Broadway, WH 3-2390. At the same time, let me thank you for offering to contact Nonnie, who is studying at Ja University. Some of our members, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper, are with Charlotte. The fact that you, as busy as you are with important things, take time out to establish this personal contact means a great deal not only to the young man, his parents and me, but also will no doubt have a profound influence upon him, especially when such hospitality and concern are shown.I hope to see you this Monday evening, p.g., for dinner.Sincerely,Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter to Moses Feuerstein about Tributes at Torah Umesorah Banquet (1962)

Dear Moe, Two things: First, I want to let you know how much I admired the capable and efficient manner in which you disposed of the tributes to the eighteen "Amudim" at the Torah Umesorah Banquet Sunday night. It could not have been done in a quicker or more charming manner, and the total effect was most impressive and encouraging. "Ye’yashar koach." Second, I have been trying to reach you for two weeks to discuss with you the matter of Paul Baris and the Publications Commission. Please let me know what is new on this score. Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMM

Letter to Dr. Weiss and Saul Bernstein Praising Their Organizing of the OU Dinner (1963)

Dear Dr. Weiss and Mr. Bernstein: I know how often it happens that people in communal life work hard and succeed, and their achievements are taken for granted. Because I do not like this all too human trait, I want to put in writing my personal felicitations to you for the splendid National dinner of last night. It was a "kiddush ha-shem” in its whole tone and its effect upon all those who attended. Certainly the two of you and all the rest of those connected with the Office of the Union deserve the gratitude of the entire community for the competence and loyalty which went into making this evening such a success. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm
