Letter to R. Rabinowitz about Guest Lecturing at The Jewish Center (1961)

My dear Rabbi Rabinowitz: I am delighted to learn that you will be visiting in New York from December 25 to January 18. At present I have no plans to be out of town during that time and do hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and visiting with you during your stay with your sister-in-law and brother-in-law. On behalf of Rabbi Jung and myself I would like to extend to you an invitation to preach from the pulpit of the Jewish Center on Saturday, January 7. It will be an honor and pleasure for our congregation to hear you at that time.With all good wishes,Respectfully,Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter from R. Rackman Regarding Article in Tradition (1965)

Dear Norman and Walter, Thanks very much for your letter of the 28th. I certainly consent to the publication of any of my essays in Tradition, and I dare say that from among those that I published, you did select the two that are the most scholarly, though not necessarily the most popular. I will reread the two essays as soon as possible for corrections. Warmest personal regards and best wishes, Yours as ever, Rabbi Emanuel Rackman.Rabbi Norman Lamm, and Rabbi Walter Wurzburger,Co-Editorsc/o Rabbinical Council of America,84 Fifth Avenue,New York 11, N.Y.

Letter to R. Peli about His Address at The Jewish Center (1967)

Dear Pinchas: I am sending you enclosed a copy of an article that is to appear shortly in our Bulletin, by way of a reminder that we are all looking forward to your address on January 27th. Once again, I want to thank you for all your helpful suggestions. My best to Peninah and the children. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm. We are pleased to announce two special programs that will take place with the resumption of our Seudot on Saturdays. In an effort to give special cultural content to the Seudot, we have decided to devote one of them to the Hebrew language, and the other to Yiddish. The first of these will be our Hebrew ”seudah.” It will take place after Minhah service on January 27, 1968 at PM. The entire Seudah will be conducted in Ivrit, and the speaker for this occasion will be Prof. Pinchas Peli, visiting Professor of Hebrew Literature at the Erna Michael College of Yeshiva University, currently on leave from his duties as Editor-in-Chief of the illustrated Israeli weekly, Panim-el-Panim.It is our hope that the ”seudah” will be attended not only by those who understand Hebrew, but also by those who love the Holy Language and perhaps be encouraged thereby to further their own studies.We are planning the Yiddish ”seudah" for a later date during the season. An appropriate announcement will follow at the proper time.
