Letter to Kaufmann Family Wishing Mazel Tov on Birth of a Baby Girl (1964)

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kaufmann: It was with a great deal of joy that we read the announcement of the birth of Rachel Beth last November 25th. We hasten to express to you our belated, but truly genuine and deeply felt congratulations. May the Almighty grant that the two of you be blessed with undiminished joy, happiness, and pride in the young lady. And, just as her name is beautifully Biblical, so may you derive from her true Jewish "Nachas" as she grows up to a full human being and a full Jewess.I hope that your move to Massachusetts has been a felicitous one, and that your work is going well. I am anxiously looking forward to your next book, and I wish you great success in it.Please do let me hear from you.Very best regards from my wife,Cordially yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMM

Letter to Okun Family about Sefer Torah Dedication in Memory of Their Son Henry (1964)

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Okun: Permit me to extend to you my sincerest greetings upon the occasion of the consecration of a Sefer Torah to be presented to Kodimoh on June 21st in memory of your late and beloved son Henry. I believe it is a most satisfying way in which to memorialize one who is so dear and precious to you. I hope and pray that you will continue to search his memory in a manner so befitting the tradition of the Okun family. May the Almighty grant you many, many years of health and happiness and "nachas" from Bill and his wife and children, years in which you will continue to participate in the progress of Judaism and Torah.With fondest regards,Sincerely,RABBI NORMAN LAMM
