Dear Rabbi Lamm, I am presently writing a Master’s Thesis for the Department of Speech of the University of Minnesota. The subject of my thesis concerns a rhetorical analysis of rabbinic sermons which dealt with the Middle East crisis of 1967. These sermons may have been delivered before, during or after the crisis. I am writing to you upon the recommendation of Rabbi Jerome Herzog of Knesseth Israel Synagogue, Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the sincere hope that you may be able to provide transcripts of any sermons you may have delivered before your congregation concerning the Israeli crisis. If you have transcripts which you could send to me, I would appreciate if you could indicate the date of delivery, the approximate number of people who heard the sermon, and the occasion during which the sermon was delivered (Friday evening service, Saturday morning service, etc.).My department feels this is a unique study which has not been previously attempted, and any assistance you may be able to provide regarding transcripts of your sermons will be greatly appreciated.Sincerely,Monroe Levie 21116 Rhode Island Minneapolis, Minnesota ^^26
