Dear Rabbi Lamm, First, I would like to thank you on my behalf and on Zevulun's behalf as well, for all the help and support you gave us during our stay in the United States. It is obvious that without your moral support and warm endorsement of our cause, we definitely would not have been as successful as we were. I know that you do not normally become involved in causes such as ours, and for that reason we are doubly indebted to you.

Dear Yehudah: As you well know, I have rarely intervened in the political matters of the NRP save to offer my assistance to you and Zevulun whenever I was able to. I have every intention of remaining consistent in my policy of non-interference. However, I have received a request from Aaron Cohen to write to you and Zevulun about his efforts to be #3 man in the forthcoming elections. Quite frankly, I know and like his major rival for that post, and consider myself incompetent to decide between them. However, I do wish to state that I have known Aaron for a number of years and have always found him to be a sympathetic and fine person. Unquestionably, it would be important as well to have some non-Ashkenazi representation in the upper echelon of the עיער. With this I have come as close to the brink of intervention as I care, and hasten to wish you and your wife and children, as well as Zevulun and his family a חג שמח. Cordially, RABBI NORMAN LAMM
