Letter to R. Ephraim Buchwald about Jewish Center Youth Group Leadership (1972)
Dear Ephraim, I tried to contact you before you left, but unfortunately, without success. I appreciate that I am quite late in making this proposition to you, but still I feel I ought to try. I have been told that you will not be teaching at Ramaz next year. From this I deduce that you may be available for a side-job in the youth field. As you may know, we have the beginnings of a good teenage group at The Jewish Center. I am looking for a leader such as yourself; for once, I am looking for the best. Tentatively, their program is flexible. I assume that they would prefer not to have much on Shabbat itself. Even if so, however, it would be good if the leader of the group occasionally would stay for Shabbat when it is important. This about sums up my first general, and vague, proposal. Do let me know as possible if there is any likelihood that you might be interested. Please write to me c/o Camp Morasha, Lake Como, Pa. 18437. All best wishes for a pleasant summer and special regards to Vic Geller and Romi Leibler. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
