Letter to Zev Wolfson about Choosing Projects Based on "Talents and Inclinations" (1963)

Dear Mr. Wolfson: I appreciate your consideration and understanding of my position. You know that I sympathize completely with your project and do not in the least underestimate its importance. However, there are so very many important things that clamor for our exclusive attention that each of us must decide in accordance with his tastes and talents and inclinations, what he prefers to work on and for. I enclose a pamphlet which is a copy of a recent talk I gave. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm.

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

Dear Irving: Thank you very much for your invitation to attend the dedication ceremonies of a new building of your Synagogue. I am sure that you can appreciate how busy Sunday afternoons are for rabbis, and that I regretfully have no choice but to decline your invitation to participate in what I am certain will be a very pleasant and interesting day. I know that you have been working for this event with great diligence for many years, and I want to wish you and Florence many years of good luck and health in which to enjoy the fruits of your labors.Warmest regards to all,Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz
