Shul Bulletin

Welcome, Mrs. Lamm (1954)

Just two months ago, we were happy to welcome to our midst, Rabbi Norman Lamm. At this time, we are pleased to welcome another to our family circle, Mrs. Norman Lamm. Since Rabbi and Mrs. Lamm were recently married, we take this opportunity to wish them Mazeltov and best wishes for a very happy life together. At the same time, we consider ourselves fortunate to have with us such a charming and wonderful couple. It is our earnest desire and fervent hope that together the strength and enthusiasm of Kodimoh will grow ever greater. Mrs. Sanford Kimball, President.
