Letter to R. Schonfeld about Rabbinic Alumni Dinner in His Honor (1967)

Dear Fabian: I just received word of the forthcoming honor which will be tendered to you by the Rabbinic Alumni on April 2nd and 3rd. Because the letter is unclear as to exactly when the dinner in your honor will be held, I find myself in a bit of a quandary. I had long ago accepted a lecture engagement for Sunday night, April 2nd in Flushing. I hope very fervently that your dinner will be held at some other time because I am anxious to be present personally to pay you tribute.Good luck and best regards,Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman LammRNL/fz

Letter to Dr. Liebman about Scheduling a Lecture for Him (1972)

Dear Charles: I have searched about, here and there, and as of now cannot find a lecture for you during the approximate period of May 23-June 5. However, I certainly will keep it in mind if anything comes up. My own congregation cannot schedule anything during this period for a variety of reasons. I am surprised you think you need a new suit. With a halo about your sacred head, and all the horns of profound knowledge emanating from your Michaelangelo-like, who is going to notice a mere suit? See you when you get here. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm

Letter from Prof. Louis Feldman about Guest Lecturing at The Jewish Center (1972)

Dear Rabbi Lamm, שלום וברכה! I’m writing to inquire whether you would be interested in having me deliver a guest lecture at the Jewish Center. I enclose a brief vita and a list of possible topics; perhaps my contributions to Tradition during the halcyon days when it was under your aegis will suggest others. Rabbis Louis Gerstein, Irving Greenberg, Asher Reichel, and Steven Riskin can tell you more about my abilities as a speaker. We shall be returning to the United States on 30 August, and I am available thereafter. I shall be pleased to hear from you, Rabbi Lamm. With warmest good wishes. בברכת כתיבה וחתימה טובה! Sincerely, Louis H. Feldman
