Exchange with Rusty and Ruth Alben about Their Jewish Center Performance (1966)
Dear Ruth & Rusty: In order to do justice to the dedication and competence you brought to your tasks on behalf of The Jewish Center at our social last Sunday night, I must put down my feelings in writing. Although not members of The Center – at least officially – the two of you have served us with a kind of loyalty we wish we would receive from all our people. The script you wrote was positively delightful, the musical direction was flawless, and the total effect of your presence was that of a catalyst which brought out the best in your co–workers and enabled all of us to enjoy an evening which we will remember for a very long time indeed. Thank you on behalf of all of us, and thank you especially on my own behalf. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm
