Sep 8, 2008 -- 黑料社 All (YU) has established the Lamm Heritage in celebration of the 80th birthday of its chancellor, Dr. Norman Lamm. The Heritage will honor Chancellor Lamm鈥檚 almost 60 years of exceptional scholarly, spiritual, and leadership contributions to the university and world Jewish community. The Lamm Heritage consists of four initiatives; the Lamm Heritage Web site, the Norman Lamm Prize, Yad Lamm, and an endowment to the Rabbi Norman Lamm Kollel L'Hora'ah (Yadin Yadin). Visitors to the - the first component to launch - will be able to access Chancellor Lamm鈥檚 numerous scholarly works through the Lamm Archives, which include over 800 digitized sermons and will eventually contain audio and video of his lectures. 鈥淲ith their exquisite language, brilliant homiletic insights, and powerful messages, Dr. Lamm's sermons excite, inspire, and edify鈥攏o less today than when they were delivered,鈥� said Dr. David Shatz, professor of philosophy at YU's Stern College for Women and editor of The Torah u-Madda Journal, who heard many of the sermons as a teenager growing up on Manhattan's West Side. 鈥淭hey also provide a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of a great spokesman, thinker and leader who always speaks with relevance and timeliness.鈥� The Lamm Heritage will also present the Lamm Prize, a substantial financial award, to select leading scholars who embody the values of the chancellor. As visiting scholars at YU, Lamm Prize winners will give lectures, teach courses, and lead discussions within the YU community. In addition, Yad Lamm, a permanent visible tribute, will be established to tell the story of Dr. Lamm鈥檚 27 years as president of YU through pictures, memorabilia, and other displays. As part of the Lamm Heritage, YU will endow and enhance the Norman Lamm Kollel L'Hora'ah (Yadin Yadin), an advanced juridical rabbinic ordination program at Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS). 鈥淣orman Lamm is a visionary of Torah Umadda who continues to guide and invigorate us,鈥� said YU President Richard Joel. 鈥淭hose of us who are inspired by his leadership and seek to build on his achievements need to be surrounded by his ongoing contributions to Jewish thought and learning.鈥� Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1927, Chancellor Lamm graduated YU鈥檚 Yeshiva College in 1949 summa cum laude and was class valedictorian. In 1951 he was ordained at RIETS and followed that with a PhD in Jewish philosophy at the university鈥檚 Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies in 1966. In 1976 he was elected as the third president of YU, the nation鈥檚 oldest and most comprehensive Jewish institution of higher learning, and served in that capacity until 2003, when he was installed as Chancellor. Dr. Lamm has gained worldwide recognition for his writings and discourses on interpretation of Jewish philosophy and law, especially in the fields of science, technology, and philosophy in the modern world. He has authored ten books, including The Religious Thought of Hasidism: Text and Commentary, which won the coveted Jewish Book Award in Jewish Thought from the Jewish Book Council. 鈥淭he Jewish world is indebted to Dr. Norman Lamm for his outstanding contributions and the phenomenal accomplishments and success during his 27 years as president of YU,鈥� said Morry J. Weiss, chairman of the YU Board of Trustees. To share a personal memory, view the archives, or to help support the Lamm Heritage, visit .
