Letter to Max Stern about Stern College Applicant (1966)

Dear Mr. Stern: Now that Armand is married, I feel free in reminding you of something which we have discussed several weeks ago. When I was in St. Louis, I met the family of [redacted], a marvelous young girl, who is very anxious to attend Stern College. You said you would call Dean Vogel and/or Dr. Mirsky about her. Since she has not yet heard from the school, it would be deeply appreciated by the family were you to remind them about it.Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammNL/le

Letter to R. Silverstein Declining Invitation to YU Hanukkah Dinner in His Honor (1972)

Dear Rabbi Silverstein: Please accept my congratulations for your designation as a recipient of the Distinguished Service Citation of Yeshiva University at the annual Hanukkah Dinner. I know that all your friends will respond enthusiastically to this award and, hopefully, respond to your invitation to rally to the cause of Yeshiva University. Most regretfully, I shall not be able to attend the Hanukkah Dinner personally on December 10. At that time, I expect to be in the midst of an international conference in Geneva and so it will not be possible for me to do what I would have much preferred to do – to be with you and your wife at that time. My wife joins me in warmest best wishes and enthusiastic congratulations to you and Mrs. Silverstein and all your family. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm
