My dear Rabbi Newman: Upon the advice of Rabbi Leo Jung of the Jewish Center of New York, I am sending you enclosed a copy of my talk, "Separate Pews – A Mark of Jewish Dignity." I hope it can be of some assistance to you and our fellow-Jews in South Africa. If any references are made to it in any printed matter, or if by chance the article should be reprinted in whole or in part, please be kind enough to make available to me several copies of the same.With best wishes once again,Sincerely yours,Rabbi Norman Lamm

Dear Norman, I hope this letter will reach you in the best of health and good spirits and that by now you have had a chance of relaxing and recuperating from your exhausting tour of South Africa. As promised I am writing promptly, but not for the reason which prompted our correspondence in the first instance, that is, referring to the lecture tour I had in mind which, however, I cannot undertake this year or early next year, as you will no doubt remember from our last experience. My daughter and son-in-law are expecting a baby in May and it is not easy for me to leave her with such a young child for an extended period. I am now arranging for further circulation of your literature but of course it will reach you much later as it is coming by surface mail. I am also glad to give you the assurance that any inquiry in regard to the publication of your book, particularly in Israel, will be despatched for your dear consideration. Incidentally, mail will be despatched to you from New York. Should you ever have the opportunity to write on your experiences in South Africa, I would be most glad to read your impressions. There is a lot of good material to be found here. Misses of the Union of South Africa were discussing having a Symposium on the education of our young people in Israel, and a lengthy document giving exact details on conditions and needs was handed over. If I can be of assistance in this matter, I shall be happy to be of service. I was happy to have the opportunity of meeting your uncle, Rabbi J.M. Baumol. It is a hope you have conveyed my regards to him. I remains now for me to wish you and your family a very happy and enjoyable Pesach. Please also convey my regards to Rabbi and Mrs. Jung. With best wishes to you and yours, in which my wife joins me, and looking forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future, I remain, with fraternal greetings, Yours sincerely, Tucker
