Dear Miss Leventhal: Thank you for sending me the book "The Indivisible Isaiah" by Mrs. Margalioth. Since I was of some assistance to Mrs. Margalioth in publishing the book, I received a copy of the Hebrew and English with the compliments of the author. It is therefore unnecessary for me to purchase another volume through Sura. Consequently, I am sending back the book under separate cover. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm.

Dear Rabbi Lamm: I would be very grateful if you would be good enough to write an article for us treating one of the following subjects or any other subject of interest to our readers: 1. Passover and charity 2. The child's role in Passover, particularly on the Seder night Enclosed please find several issues of MI News. The MI News has a circulation of more than 5,000; some of them are members of your synagogue. Awaiting to hear from you, sincerely yours, Toby Hope, Editor

Dear Florence: I just received the copies of the Rabbinical Council Record, for which I thank you. By now my wife has probably called you with a number of messages, so you know that I received your first letter about poor Mr. Mendelsohn. I hope all is well with you, and that the office work is going smoothly. The week before I left, I wrote a letter to one of the teachers at the Yeshivah Kerem Be’Yavneh in Israel. Please write me at once, letting me know his name.Please call Feldheim and ask him to send a copy of the recently published biography of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Spector to Mr. & Mrs. J. Milne, The White House, Venus St., Birdhaven, Johannesburg. It should be inscribed, "With the Compliments of R.N.L." Also ask him to obtain, for me per-sonally, a copy of Miller’s "Rejoice O Youth," published by Balshon Press. Then, please write to England, Jewish Marriage Education Council, 529b Finchley Rd., London NW3, asking for their booklets on Jewish marriage.Please give my regards to your husband. Has Fay left yet?

Dear Mr. Dorfzaun, Thank you for your letter dated February 11, 1964. Your letter arrived during his absence abroad, and will be called to his attention after his return, please G-d, about the beginning of March. Sincerely, Mrs. Florence Fine Rabbi Lamm's Sec'y

Dear Rabbi Lamm, Much time has elapsed and much has occurred since I last wrote to you. However, silence should not be understood as lack of activity in those matters in which we were, in the past, in more regular contact. In a week's time, I shall be leaving India and will be returning to Jerusalem. My successor, Mr. Moshe Felber, has already arrived and is acquainted with all aspects of the work and, particularly, the matter appertaining to the Union of Orthodox Synagogues.

On my return, I found that the Opposition had strengthened considerably but, eventually, we were able to form a non-official reception committee comprising of Me. Albert Manasseh and Mr. Shalome A braham, President of the United Synagogues of India. Whilst we were still negotiating with other groups, Rabbi Gotthold arrived. He was faced with a number of incompatible requests:That since he was receiving support from the Union of Orthodox Synagogues in America, he must ”represent them here".That it would be a grave mistake to appear in any way to favour or to ally himself with any particular group since, by d…
