Letter from R. Jakobovits to Cardinal Spellman about His Meeting with R. Jakobovits and R. Lamm (1962)
My dear Cardinal: On behalf of my colleague Rabbi Norman Lamm and myself I beg to express to Your Grace once again our profound appreciation for the gracious reception accorded to us yesterday when we had the pleasure and privilege to call upon you. We are confident that through the understanding created by this and similar meetings to explore common problems in the light of the new challenges of our time, we may succeed in strengthening our religious ramparts against the threatening inroads of communism from without and secularism from within and in promoting the blessings of harmony and cooperation among those who cherish the supremacy of religion in life.With cordial greetings, I am,Yours very sincerely,Dr. I. JakobovitsRabbi
