Exchange with R. Juda Frankel about the Kiryat Sanz Yeshiva and Hospital in Israel (1964)
Dear Rabbi Lamm: At the suggestion of Rabbi Soloveitchik, I am writing you to ask for an appointment at which I may tell you about our work. By now, Rabbi Soloveitchik may have mentioned this to you. What I want to tell you about is the work now in progress in Kiryat Sanz in our Holy Land, under charge of Grand Rabbi Shlita, the Klausenberger Rabbi who is also the grandson of the world renowned Sanzer Rabbi. Already functioning is a Yeshiva with dormitories providing a Torah education and sustenance for students from many parts of the world. There is a home for the aged where old folks may spend their declining years in an atmosphere of peace and serenity. A Kinderheim provides a home and Jewish upbringing for homeless waifs rescued from non-Jewish missions. The greatest project of all, now in process of being built, is the hospital which, when completed, will provide medical care for a population of over 300,000 people who are now without such facilities. I would greatly appreciate it if you will let me hear from you soon, letting me know at what time it will be convenient for me to see you. Sincerely, Rabbi Juda Frankel, Executive Director
