Exchange with E.J. Mazgaonkar about a Zohar Set and Female Synagogue President in India (1969)
Dear Rabbi Lamm, Shalom, just a few lines to let you know that I am quite well and hope the same with you and all members of your family. The Jewish High holidays (festivals) are all over now and I have to thank you really for the Prayer Book which you had sent one as a gift. You were in my thoughts throughout the Jewish festivals. I really enjoyed praying in these Prayer Books and out the same time I could follow its prayer in English, which is a great thing, as you entirely know the meaning of the prayers and one could increase his knowledge in Hebrew. I thank you once again from the bottom of my heart, I feel very proud to have theses Prayer Books, as both Synagogues in Poona are orthodox and the Prayer Books are also of the same lable.I would feel highly obliged if I could get, either Zohar, Sword of Moses, and Complete Talmud, as I am really interested in these books. I understand that it is easy to get these books in America. I had 6th and 7th Book of Moses, which I lost in the flood. This book also will be appreciated by me if you could help me. Thanks! Excuse me troubling you again.With my respects, kind regards and all good wishes, I close. My wife join with me.Your Sincerely,Mazgaonkar E.J.Poona
