Dear Dr. Lamm: Permit me to congratulate you on your recent appointment to the distinguished office of President of Yeshiva University. May G-d prosper your ways so that under your direction as a scholar and thinker the Yeshiva University may grow and rise to greater and greater heights. I am now reading your work Torah Lishmah, which you were kind enough to forward to me. I find this an outstanding and most significant work. Had I read this work prior to the publication of my recent book, I would have had occasion to refer to it a number of times. With best wishes to you and yours, I am Sincerely yours, Dr. David S.
