Letter to Moshe Green about Congregant Having Difficulty Finding Job Due to Shabbat Observance (1962)

Dear Moshe: A personable and young man, who evidently worships in The Jewish Center and who has an apparently extensive and excellent record as an Operations Executive, has been having difficulties finding a position because of the fact that he is a Shomer Shabbat. If you can refer him to any of your acquaintances in need of such an executive, and where Sabbath observance will be possible, I would be most grateful to you. Warmest personal regards. Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL\:ffEncl

Letter from Sen. Ohrenstein Explaining Scheduling Conflict of Senate Committee Hearing on Passover (1965)

Dear Rabbi Lamm: This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter with regard to the recent hearings held by the Senate Committee on Mental Hygiene. I'm extremely sorry that these hearings were held in conflict with the end of the Passover Holidays. We had originally planned to hold them on a weekday. However, due to the abnormal length of the Legislative Session, a Saturday had to be selected. I assure you that at the time the date of April 24 was chosen, we had overlooked that this was the end of the Passover Holidays. Certainly, if we had been cognizant of the fact, we would have chosen another date.Thank you again for writing us and calling this to our attention.Sincerely,

Pesach
