Description

“Our people have survived and will always survive and continue to progress because of their great sense of humor—tenacity—understanding and determination to succeed”

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, July 23, 1962. Letter to Mr. Lichter in response to a request for a statement to include in a symposium, in part: “The present character of Judaism in America today is vastly different than in the distant past. This difference is not through any change in our belief or scriptures—but by progressive thinking and higher education. How proud we are to see our fellowmen assigned to such high and vitally important government posts, as well as in the medical and scientific fields of endeavor. But all this is understandable because our people have survived and will always survive and continue to progress because of their great sense of humor—tenacity—understanding and determination to succeed.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
