Dear Dr. Lamm: On behalf of Young Israel of Flatbush, permit me to extend a hearty mazel tov to you upon the occasion of your assuming the presidency of Yeshiva University. This is a most challenging and vital assignment and tangentially affects the entire Jewish community here in the United States. We hope and pray that you will have great success. Best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to you and your entire family. Warmest regards, Matthew J. Maryles President

Dear Dr. Lamm: Your address, “Some Thoughts on Leadership,” was extraordinary. I know that sometimes you feel like a lonely voice in the wilderness, but be assured that there are many who enthusiastically support your ideological thrust and personal leadership and are ready to man the rafters with you. I wish you continued hatzlacha in all your endeavors. Warm regards from Gladys and to Mindy. MJM/jm.
