Correspondences with Goss, R. Isaac

Correspondence

Letter from R. Goss about South Africa Education Committee Progress and Tradition Subscription (1964)

My dear Rabbi Lamm, It is some time since I wrote to you. The work here is proceeding and our Education Committee is going into the problem of getting to grips with the problem of intensifying our educational set-up here. I cannot tell you how deeply appreciative I am of all the material which you have sent me. I find your writings and the numbers of "Tradition" a veritable storehouse of knowledge and inspiration. I should be obliged to you if you would make the Board of Education a permanent subscriber to "Tradition."I have the spring issues as well as copies of “Tradition” over. I wish to tell you how deeply I am appreciative of your friendship and kindness.I hope that things are going well with you, and I wish to send you the regards of my family as well as myself.With every good wish.Sincerely yours,RABBI ISAAC GOSS

Exchange with R. Goss about RIETS Recommendation for South African Student (1964)

My dear Rabbi Lamm, I am once again writing to you in connection with a young student of the Rabbi J. L. Zlotnik Seminary named [redacted]. He will be completing his teacher’s course at the Seminary at the end of this year but he wishes to pursue further Rabbinical studies at the Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Yeshivah University. He is a very fine young man with a sterling character and a great desire to learn, and anything that you could do to help him would be greatly appreciated by me. If you have time I should like to hear from you. Meanwhile may I wish you and yours everything of the best. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Isaac Goss, Director

Correspondence

Exchange with R. Goss after South Africa Trip (1964)

Dear Rabbi Goss: It is barely a week that I have returned from South Africa, but I wish to hasten to thank you for all your friendship and guidance during the time that I spent in your community. I feel that knowing you and speaking with you as I did has immeasurably broadened my own horizons. Whatever little I might have contributed to the community, I believe I gained much more especially as a result of knowing you. I do hope that you have long recovered from the illness which kept you in bed during my last day or two in Johannesburg. Please convey my very fondest regards to Mrs. Goss and to all our friends. I do hope and pray that the time will not be long that you will be visiting New York and I will have the opportunity to reciprocate in some measure your kindness towards me. Cordially yours, Rabbi Norman Lamm. P.S. I have taken the liberty of sending you some reprints of a number of articles and talks I recently gave.
