Letter from Abraham Jhirad to R. Gotthold about Indian Students Studying in Israel (1961)

Dear Rabbi: This has reference to the letter dated February 21, 1961 I received from Rabbi Norman Lamm of New York in connection with the students to be sent to Israel – two for Rabbinate and one for Hazanut respectively. It was very kind of you to be prepared to accept them even before Pesach but I don't think it will be possible because of the Passport and other formalities. I shall get in touch with you immediately the young men are prepared to leave.Rabbi Lamm gave me to understand that the new term for the Rabbinate at Yeshiva Kol Torah commences from Rosh Hodesh Iyar – April 17, 1961. However he did not mention the date from which the term for Hazanut begins and the duration of the course. One more important piece of information I would like to have is, the medium of instruction at both these Yeshivoth. Whether this is in Hebrew or English or Hebrew and English as well?I shall be grateful if the above information is addressed to be by return of post.Tefillin – You shall hear in this matter almost immediately through a common friend of ours.With best regards and our grateful thanks for all that you are doing for us.Sincerely Yours,A.D. JhiradCopy to: Dr. Samson R Weiss, Executive Vice President U.O.J.C.A.

Letter to Moses Feuerstein about the Visit of Israeli Rabbis and Delicate Situation in India (1963)

Dear Moe: I did not want to call you personally about the Indian situation, as you had requested of me, until you read the enclosed letter, as well as the photocopy of Jhirad’s letter of the same date to Dr. Weiss, which the latter is sending to you. I think that the situation is extremely delicate, and threatens to deteriorate unless someone with a strong hand is present on the spot when the Israeli Rabbis arrive. I am not going to answer this letter until you have called re and we shall core to some decision. Please don't hesitate. Sincerely, Rabbi Norman Lamm

להו"ס הרב הגאון הגדול והמפורסם פאר הדור וכו. כש"ת מהור"ר שלמה זלמן אוערבך ר"מ בישיבת קול תורה בירושלם עה"ק גובב אל. אחדשה"ט בכל הכבוד הראוי! קבלנו דרישה מתתלמיד [redacted] מהודו לסדר דמי ושכר למודו אצל רב מהכולל פורת יוסף. למודיו, כפי מה שהוא כותב. תחת השגחת כמשה וע"פ עצתו והסכמתו תשובתי אעו לוטה לזה, ונא מכתבה להודיענו את חות דעתו הרמה, כי שמעהו מהרב זאב גוטהולד שהצלמיד הנ"ל אינו
