Dear Debbi: Mrs. Lamm and I were thrilled to receive your lovely post card overflowing, as it was, with such enthusiasm for the Holy Land. The "crazy" things you have been doing certainly are an index of your own vitality and to my own mystic mentality of the "kedushat ha-aretz." We look forward to seeing you upon your return with the marvelously beneficial results of your stay no doubt being evident to all.Your parents and brother are all well, thank Heaven, and we shall give them personal regards to you when they visit.Warmest good wishes from everyone at The Center and from our children in particular.Cordially yours,Rabbi Norman Lamm

Dear Debbie: It was a genuine pleasure for my wife and me to meet you and spend time with you in Seattle during our recent visit. We liked you the way you were, before your Seattle “gilgul,” but we are even happier and more delighted with the way you have developed. I called your mother as soon as we returned, and she was happy to hear from us about you. I also called up Willie to ask him how he was faring. I am sending you enclosed a copy of one of the books by Mayer Schiller. This is the one on Judaism. I am asking him to send to you directly his work in political science, The (Guilty) Conscience of a Conservative. Please let me know your reactions – and those of your colleagues – to either or both of the volumes. In addition to the joy of the wedding, Seattle was a true “experience” for all our family. The Russaks are remarkable people, and the friendship between you and them speaks well for both of you! Keep well, and do keep us informed of your progress. Cordially yours, Norman Lamm President
