Dear Rabbi Lamm: The Federation of Jewish Philanthropies has requested the research staff of the Associated Ys to undertake a survey of the social and health needs of the Jewish residents of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and of the community services available to them. The findings of this survey will be used by Federation and its agencies in planning to meet the needs of their present and potential clientele. The geographic area covered by this survey is as follows: 59th Street on the South, 125th Street on the North, Central Park West on the East, The Hudson River on the West. Your organization has been identified as one particularly important to residents of this area, and therefore to the successful conduct of this survey. A member of our staff will telephone you within the next several days in order to schedule a personal interview at a time convenient to you. Enclosed is a copy of the interview schedule which will be used during the discussion with you. We shall be glad, upon request, to share a summary of our findings. In addition, we will welcome any comment you care to make concerning the topic to which this survey is addressed. We look forward to meeting with you in the very near future, and thank you for your kind assistance. Sincerely, Irving Brodsky, Executive Vice President
