Letter to R. Riskin about Inability to Attend Lincoln Square Synagogue Inaugural Dinner (1967)

Dear Rabbi Riskin: It would have been a great pleasure for Mrs. Lamm and myself to attend the first Inaugural Dinner of the Lincoln Square Synagogue this coming Sunday night. However, unfortunately; the invitation arrived too late for me to be able to make the proper arrangement. Several months ago I already committed myself for a lecture out of town on January 29th.I hope, therefore, that you and Mrs. Riskin, and all your congregation, will forgive our absence and accept our best wishes and warmest regards from afar.As an admiring colleague and neighbor, I wish you God speed in all your marvelous endeavors to build, in our neighborhood, a true "makom kadosh" which will reflect glory on the sacred cause that unites us.Sincerely yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz

Letter to R. Shure about Lack of Interest in Project Among Congregation (1967)

Dear Rabbi Shure: Thank you very much for your proposal, so carefully prepared and so convincingly written. I used this material in broaching your proposal to a friend of mine who I had hoped would lend his support. Quite unfortunately, and to my great regret, he expressed absolutely no interest in the project. He was the only one in my congregation who I thought might be interested. Apparently I was unsuccessful, and I am terribly sorry, therefore, to have to return the material to you enclosed. I am sure there must be people elsewhere who will participate in this wonderful work.My very best regards and warmest wishes for success.Sincerely yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz enc.
