Letter from Alan Goldblatt about Russian Translation of "A Hedge of Roses" (1999)
Dear Rabbi Dr. Lamm: I am sure you will be glad to hear that we have just published a third printing of your Hedge of Roses in Russian. Your book is an exceptionally effective and powerful tool in the Jewish education of our Russian brethren in Israel, the former Soviet Union, and in America. This recent third printing was sponsored in memory of the late Rabbi Yechezkel Unsdorfer, whom I think you knew, by Mr. Shlomo Ben-Zvi, a grandson of Rabbi Unsdorfer’s who now lives in Efrat. The family asked me to send you a copy, and I am glad now to do so. Cordially, Director of Development.Executive Committees and Boards: American Friends Executive Committee – Ludwig Bravmann, Shalom Bronstein, Eli Cooper, Dr. Joseph E.
