Invitation to Speak at Jewish Marriage Education Council Dinner (1975)
Dear Rabbi Dr. Lamm, On behalf of my Honorary Officers, I would like to invite you to London to be the guest of honour at our first Annual Dinner and to deliver our Annual Public Lecture. The Annual Public Lecture focuses its attention on a topical issue which affects the Jewish community at large. The Jewish Marriage Education Council was founded by the present Chief Rabbi Dr. I. Jakobovits to strengthen the Jewish home and Jewish marriage. To accomplish these aims, our organisation has a number of departments whose work is fully explained in our enclosed Annual Report and accompanying literature. We feel that a man of your standing in the American Jewish community would admirably enhance our goals by your presence at the function we are planning. The Chief Rabbi has informed me that should you be able to accept our invitation, he would be grateful if you would be available for other appearances in the Anglo-Jewish community. We would therefore contemplate inviting you to London for around 8 days. In order that your appearances in England would have its maximum impact, two dates are available – from 1st to the 8th February, 1976, or sometime between 1st March and 14th March, 1976. I would be very pleased if you would communicate to us your acceptance of this invitation at your earliest convenience. Thereafter I would be able to discuss the details and itinerary of your stay. With kindest regards. Yours sincerely, [Signature]
