Letter to Mr. and Mrs. Moses Rohekar about Invitation to Moses Wedding in India (1964)
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Rohekar: I was most pleased to receive your invitation to attend the wedding of your son Jonathan to Miss Naomi Moses, which is to take place on November 29th, please God, at the Magen David Synagogue in Byculla. How I wish I could attend! It is now over four years since I visited with you in Bombay, and I have remembered every detail of the visit all during this time. Never has any other experience so impressed me. I wish, therefore, that I could respond in the affirmative and prepare to visit with you for this festive and happy occasion.Since, unfortunately, that is impossible, I shall have to get along with being a friend from afar, and express to you from over the ocean my most heartfelt wishes for "mazal tov" and many years of undiminished joy, pride, and happiness as the young couple grows together into full Jewish maturity and builds a true and loyal home in Israel.May the Almighty grant that the most precious blessings of their parents, family and friends come true for them.Cordially yours,RABBI NORMAN LAMMNL\:rf
