Dear Rabbi Lamm: I wish to congratulate you upon becoming Rabbi of Kodimah Synagogue. I hope that you will have a successful career and will find your work as satisfying as I did. It is a fine Congregation with a co-operative membership. The black sheep I will let you find out for yourself. The good ones I commend to your attention. You will find them particularly among the younger members, especially those who are active in the Day School. Rabbi Lookstein spoke to me about you in very glowing terms. I am sure you will be able to make Kodimah continue to be a fortress for traditional Judaism in the finest sense of the term. With sincerest congratulations and best wishes, I am Cordially yours, Rabbi Isaac Klein

Dear Rabbi Lamm: Let me congratulate you upon your fine study published in the last issue of Judaism. I am happy to learn that the day by day duties of the rabbinate have not completely displaced your inclination to study. Keep it up. Very few rabbis manage to pay proper attention to both. May I also use this opportunity to thank you for your telegram congratulating me at the occasion of my receiving life tenure. It was very thoughtful of you and I appreciate it very much. Regards to your charming rebbitzen and to your entire flock. Rabbi Isaac Klein
