Exchange with the Harkham Family about an Encounter with R. Maurice Lamm in Los Angeles (1974)
Dear Rabbi Mrs. Lamm, although it has been 3 months since the birth of our little daughter, Rachel, we have been trying to get your address. Strange enough how we could not get it through. About 3 weeks ago we were in N.S.W. on business. While in S.P.H. we stayed at the Burley Hillers. As we were leaving there was a barmitzvah. Suddenly we saw an identical page of myself thinking it was you, we greeted Rabbi Korn and then got your brother’s reference (the sadness!). Rachel was born first day Rosh Hashanah 9.5 lbs, healthy with blue eyes and black black hair. A sheer joy and pleasure, only to be given a present – so good! My parents naturally spoil her, but it is their privilege. We trust you are fine. Sincerely, David, Graciela, Rachel Hershkovitz.
