Letter from Albert Loewenthal about Assisting at His Wedding (1967)
Dear Rabbi Lamm, I also have read occasionally some of your writings and have heard a lot about you, but have not had the pleasure as yet of meeting you personally. However, I am informed by my fiancée that you have kindly consented to assist in the arrangement of our Chuppa on March 30th and I write to thank you for your kindness in agreeing to this. I have today written to Rabbi Jung and also advised him that the Ponyewezer Rav will most probably be in New York on the day of our wedding and, considering his age, I suppose Rabbi Jung and yourself will have no objection to his performing the main Rites with your kind assistance. My fiancée will be able to confirm to you shortly whether the Ponyewezer Rav will, in fact, be able to officiate on that occasion.And so, I am looking forward to meeting you in good time before our wedding in New York and meanwhile remain with many kind regards.Yours sincerely,Albert Loewenthal
