Dear Rabbi Blau: This time I am turning to you for a favor. One of the young men of my congregation, who is a rather good student but whose record is not good enough to get him into the top level colleges such as Harvard or Columbia, is interested in attending a school out-of-town, one with a good reputation and preferably one that has a special department for Business Administration. Naturally, being an observant young man, he is looking for a place where there is an active Jewish community, where there are facilities for kashruth and other observances, as well as a social life. Perhaps you could help me by making some suggestions. It is quite imperative that I get the information as soon as possible so that he will be able to fill out applications.I look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely,**RABBI NORMAN LAMM**

Dear Rabbi Blau, At the end of January 1964, a book will be published by the Sura Institute of Yeshiva University which I think is of the utmost importance and should be read by every member of Yavneh across the country. The name of the book is “The Indivisible Isaiah: Evidence for the Single Authorship of this Prophetic Book” by Rachel Margalioth of Jerusalem, presently in New York. This 245-page volume is a translation and extensive revision of the Hebrew Shad Hayah Yeshayahu, which argues scientifically and consistently for the thesis that all the book of Isaiah was written by one author, and that there was only one Prophet Isaiah. The author is a distinguished biblical scholar who is in all ways loyal to the teachings and traditions of Torah. You can well appreciate that her work, which goes against the whole dogmatic trend of higher biblical criticism, is one which ought to be read and studied and pondered by every member of Yavneh as well as every thinking Orthodox Jew. Her arguments are forceful, novel, and in accordance with the Jewish scholarly methodology. I cannot urge you strongly enough to circularize this information to all members of Yavneh and encourage them to purchase the book and study it. The list price of the volume will be $4.75. However, I prevailed upon Mrs. Margalioth to make it available to Yavneh students for only $2.75 (less than the regular student discount). Please do give this your attention and try to circularize this to Yavneh as soon as is feasible. All orders should be sent to the author directly at 250 West 99th Street. Please let me hear from you on this matter. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm.
