Dear Rebecca: I tried calling you before you left for Israel, but could not reach you; hence this letter to you in Israel. Your father told me this morning that you had noticed the essential חידוש of my דרשה לשבת הגדול in the רא״ה לסנהדרין. For you to do so, and to remember it in order to apply it – is a sign of a perceptive student who both knows Talmudic technique and has a retentive memory. I congratulate you on both and hope you will keep it up. Excellent! My best regards, and those of Mrs. Lamm and our children, to your parents and your brother and sister, and warmest wishes for and a safe trip back to New York. Cordially, Rabbi Norman Lamm
