The name Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm evokes an array of memories stemming from his brilliant mind and wellspring of writings, including addresses that have left an indelible mark on listeners. The rabbi’s intellectual humor made those engaged in friendly conversation think, and his humility is quite notable. Nonetheless, no discussion can be had without the mention of his wife, Mindy a”h, who passed at the end of April of this year. Rabbi Lamm is best remembered for supporting Yeshiva University’s philosophy of Torah U’madda, that Orthodox Jews can thrive in both Torah learning and having a productive role in modern society.

In Sefer T’hilim (95:7), it says, “Today, if you hear His Voice.” What does it mean in a practical sense to “hear” Hashem’s Voice? What exactly are we supposed to be listening for?

The days leading up to Shavuos were a frenzy of activity and anticipation for Emet Outreach. The organization embarked on their annual fundraising campaign at a pivotal time in the Jewish calendar, when the celebration of Matan Torah is front and center. It was a moment that was especially poignant for Emet, since the transmission of Torah from their dedicated educators to their committed students happens in real-time each and every day. This year, in these unprecedented times, Emet’s vital work took on even greater significance – and the community responded.
