Letter from Toby Weiss about Donor Supporting "Torah Umadda" Distribution to YU Students (1995)
I am quite pleased to inform you that an anonymous donor approached the alumni office and suggested that we distribute your book Torah Umadda to all incoming undergraduate students at YC, SCW, and SSSB. He would pay for all expenses incurred for this project. The books were distributed by the dorm counselors through the Office of the Dean of Students. How fortunate we are to have an alum who deems it so important for incoming students to understand the mission and direction of our institution. Let’s hope our office can continue to be instrumental in helping our alumni feel close to the university and can help us both financially and in a leadership capacity. Enclosed please find a copy of the bookplate which was pasted into the book. P.S. This project was started with Sherry Friedman – I’m not sure if she communicated the above with you.
