	Norman Lamm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Lamm is the eloquent voice for "Centrist Orthodoxy" (which is used interchangeably with Modern Orthodoxy) regarding itself as the "center" between the "left wing" branches of Judaism, such as Reform Judaism and Conservative Judaism, and the movements of the "right wing" such as Ultra-Orthodox Judaism.
		Lamm is a strong believer in modern Zionism, and a strong supporter and leader of the Religious Zionism movements in America and the State of Israel.
		Lamm recently stepped down as President in 2003, and was succeeded by Richard Joel as the fourth YU President, also a graduate of Yeshiva University and the first layman to hold the office.

	Dr. Norman Lamm and Yeshiva University Gay Clubs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Norman Lamm states, "There are no gay clubs at any of YU's undergraduate schools...." But if the gay clubs are allowed to continue in the graduate schools, what will stop their being created in the undergraduate colleges by those claiming that their absence proves the violation there of gays' alleged civil rights.
		Norman Lamm is advised by his lawyers that the NYC human rights law exempting "religious and religiously-controlled institutions from the requirements that homosexuals be afforded equal treatment" does not apply to YU.
		Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm's supporters on the faculty and elsewhere are saddened by his persistent, unrelenting, unwise defense of gay clubs that should have no place in a Jewish institution according to his 1974 statement, affirmed as his present view.

		Now, with Lamm planning to retire as of August 2002, the direction of both YU and modern Orthodoxy is somewhat unclear.

	An Interview with President Norman Lamm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		LAMM: I wrote a book called Torah Lishmah or Study for Its Own Sake that shows how the concept of study developed throughout the ages and turned into a major theme in the religious polemics of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and remains current to this day.
		LAMM: The same article ["The Fifth Amendment and Its Equivalent in the Halakha"] was cited twice: once at some length by Justice William O.
		LAMM: I think our vision heretofore has been and should continue to be to have Cardozo be the kind of law school that we can be proud of.

	Jewish Education at the Lookstein Center - Faith and Doubt
		Lamm then tries to extend this sanction to cover substantive doubt as well; there is no need here to summarize this "extension," since I have already argued in the previous section that Saadia's discussion itself concerns substantive doubt.
		In summary of this section, while R. Lamm does not succeed in showing that it is hypocritical or "spiritually invalid" to allow substantive doubt to interfere with one's commitment to halakhic practice, it is patent that halakha itself does not give general dispensation from halakhic norms on the basis of substantive doubt.
		Lamm suggests that cognitive doubts regarding certain doctrines about God (in particular, those concerning God's mercifulness or justice) may be dealt with by "proceeding from the propositional to the emotive, from belief-that to belief-in" (p.25).

		Last year, Rabbi Norman Lamm announced that he would retire as president of Yeshiva University, the flagship educational institution of Modern Orthodoxy in America, after a quarter-century on the job.
		In it Lamm comes to grips with the fact that the assassin, Yigal Amir, was a Modern Orthodox Jew, just as a year and a half earlier Baruch Goldstein, another Modern Orthodox Jew and graduate of Yeshiva University, had massacred Muslims at prayer at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
		Lamm, though a thoughtful and articulate man, has been strangely reluctant, other than through words, to help shape the academic atmosphere by combating the forces eroding Modern Orthodoxy at his own institution, which wields enormous influence over American Orthodoxy as a whole.

		Already the school's president, Norman Lamm, says his office has been blitzed by phone calls and faxes demanding the groups, which were formed during the last few years, be banished.
		Lamm, who is a modern Orthodox rabbi, the groups represent a minor concession that helps the school qualify for a tax-exempt status, without which the school could not survive.
		Lamm does not deny that he remained silent; he acknowledges that he has refused interviews with all other members of the press, including from Yeshiva's own student publications.

		Norman Lamm, president of Yeshiva University and author of 10 books (including The Shema, JPS, and The Religious Thought of Hasidism, KTAV/Yeshiva Univ. Press), says that American religion is currently in transition.
		Lamm thinks this phase will then begin to spend itself: "Like everything else in life, religion, too, is subject to the laws of the pendulum," he observes.
		In Judaism, too, Lamm detects a confrontation between a strong focus on halakah -- the highly structured laws of the Torah -- and the growing stress on spirituality with its subjectivity, individualism and emphasis on emotion over reason.

		Rabbi Norman Lamm was expected to step down as president next month, but he recently agreed to stay on for another year after it became clear that no replacement would be found in time, university insiders told the Forward.
		During Lamm's tenure, however, the university has become an organizational behemoth, raising questions about whether it will be possible to find one person capable of serving as the university's top administrator and a spokesman for Modern Orthodoxy while commanding enough respect from the seminary's top rabbis to serve as rosh yeshiva.
		At the time, one of the seminary's most prominent rabbis, Moshe Tendler, said that the solution was for Lamm to withdraw his resignation and stay on as president until a suitable rabbinic figure could be found to replace him.

		Lamm's discussion centered on two primary themes: the silence of Great Britain during and after World War II regarding the Holocaust, and the issue of reparations payment to Holocaust survivors.
		Regarding reparations, Lamm said those nations who stole properties from Jewish families-not only Germany but her allies, as well as nations who profited from this thievery (even Allied countries such as Britain or the United States)-had a moral responsibility to return the goods, or at least a monetary equivalent.
		Lamm replied that some reparations are already present-in the form of tax breaks to Native American Indians, for instance.

	j. - Orthodox leader speaks out on Jewish unity, breaking long silence
		Lamm's remarks came during a speech and in a private interview during a convention of the World Council of Orthodox Leadership, which drew some 650 people to the Homowack Hotel in Glen Springs, N.Y., over the Thanksgiving weekend.
		But it was apparent in one of Lamm's offhand remarks in his speech that while tolerance may be a goal, it has its limits in practice.
		Lamm mocked the president of the Reform movement's Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion for calling himself a rosh yeshiva, a term generally used by the heads of Orthodox schools.

		Rabbi Svei deplored references in Rabbi Lamm's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary Centennial Address that explicated that institution's educational approach.
		This criticism appears to be particularly contrived in light of the nature of the function at which Rabbi Lamm delivered his oration, an event devoted not to provision of a candid reckoning of the relative contributions to Orthodoxy made by its warring factions but to recognition of the educational objectives and historical legacy of RIETS.
		He further indicated that Rabbi Svei probably meant what he said "and considered the matter serious enough to embarrass Rabbi Lamm in public." That Rabbi Svei's remarks are vested with what he considers sincerity, I question not.

		Using the Shema as his focus, Norman Lamm, prominent Orthodox scholar and long-time president of Yeshiva University, explores the relationship between spirituality and law in Judaism.
		Lamm devotes the most space to the first sentence of the Shema (Hear O Israel, the Lord is God, the Lord is One), and to the Shema's requirement that we love God.
		As to the former, Lamm points out the difference between the two names of God referenced in the Shema: one represents the impersonal, universal God as seen in Nature while the other represents God as experienced in History, that is, the God who relates to Israel specifically and who is part of everything.
