Dear Pop: Enclosed is a copy of the booklet I've prepared for Josh's Bar Mitzvah I.Y.H. I hope you and Mom will like it. We want to invite you to participate in the Sunday proceedings by reciting the Kaddish after the Hadran. You will be seated either on my side (near the Aron) or the side that Jung sits on – probably the former, or whichever you prefer, if you have a preference. Now, after Josh makes the Siyyum, he will read the Hadran and then either he or I will ask everyone to rise. Then you will step to the Shulchan (facing the Aron) to read the special Kaddish on page 16 of the enclosed.Just in case you want to read it according to Dikduk (nusach Lithuania), I've marked the syllables to be accented. If you prefer to read it "our" way, that is perfectly OK. As for me, whatever you are more comfortable with is just fine.One more thing — we're trying to keep the whole thing as a surprise for our guests, so please try not to show it to anyone else (other than Mom, of course) before the event.Also — please ask everyone to remember to stay for the Services which begin at 4 pm.Be'chavod Rav,NORMAN

Dear Norman, your article on fun isn’t a bit funny – it really merits commendation. I, for one, did follow your idea in seeking not fun, but happiness. I followed happiness in times of distress, and G-d was good to me, and I can say that now I reached some measure of happiness – the fact that my children, and my children’s children, are as I always pictured they would be, thrills to no end. May I now start to pursue a little fun? With love, Pop

Dear Pop: The name of this man was sent to me by Malcolm Hoenlein of NYCSJ. Leonid Luma is a resident of Moscow who submitted his document for an exit visa to Israel on December 18, 1973. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested and informed that some years ago he had committed an act of “hooliganism” and other such trumped-up charges. I understand that he is now being persecuted by the Russian authorities. Hoenlein tells me we will be doing a real “mitzvah” if we will be writing to him. The enclosed is my first letter to him. I suggest that you write to him, telling him that you feel you may be related and speaking in very general terms, but not letting on that you know of his difficulties with the Russians. I am told that the KGB reads all his mail. If he does not hear from him in about two weeks, write again, even every once in a while, about twice a month. It is important that the Russians realize that he is not alone, and that the entire family is interested in him. Try to build up, even with only generalities, a sense of importance in our groups. Try not to say anything openly provocative about the USSR. If you get any answer, please let me know the contents, and send a copy of the answer to Mr. Malcolm Hoenlein at NYCSJ 11 West 42nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10036. I also sent a cable to my Congressman asking him to request of Nixon to intervene with the Russians for Leonid Luma. Shalom! Norman

Dear Mr. Lamm: Thank you very much for your warm good wishes and your congratulations. It is possible that we are related, although I doubt it. My father’s family comes from a small town near Lwow, or Lemberg, which is in Poland. The variations on our last names include Lamm, Lam, and Lamb. You write that your father’s name was Pinchas Lamm, which is the same name as my uncle, my father’s brother, Phillip-Pinchas Lamb, who now lives in Miami Beach. I am sending a copy of your letter to me, and this response, to my father, Mr. Samuel Lamm of Brooklyn, who may have some information linking our families. Whether related immediately or not, I certainly am grateful to you for your letter and hope we shall have good reason to be proud of the name! Cordially yours, Norman Lamm President NL:gf cc: Mr. Samuel Lamm
