Did you know that Rabbi Joseph Lookstein, for whom Rabbi Lamm interned at Kehilath Jeshurun in 1951-1952, apparently credited Rabbi Lamm with helping persuade his son Rabbi Haskel Lookstein to enter the rabbinate?
After visiting India in 1961 on behalf of the Orthodox Union, Rabbi Lamm consulted with leading halakhic authorities about the status of India's Jewish communities – including Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Unterman, who sent him this remarkable telegram.
