IV. Correspondence

Summary: The Correspondences Series consists of four manuscript boxes, spanning the years 1963-1983. The series is organized alphabetically, and largely contains letters received by the Rabbi Julius Funk, as well as copies of Funk's replies to various organizations, students and affiliates. The bulk of the Correspondence series deals with the daily administrative details faced by Rabbi Funk from 1963 until 1982, when Rabbi Funk retired. Following Rabbi Funk's retirement, Rabbi Norman Weitzner assumed the position as the Director of the Hillel House. Within the Correspondences series are two large folder groups, detailed below.

B'nai B'rith Correspondences (January 1963-July 1983): Consisting of six folders this folder group contains records of correspondences between Rabbi Funk, his associates and various B'nai B'rith sponsored organizations. These correspondences include general information as well as information about B'nai B'rith chapters and lodges, trips and Parent's Day.

Kosher Eating Club Correspondences (1965-1979): This folder group consists of eighteen folders of correspondences between various students, parents, and Rabbis. A large part of this folder group consists of exchanges between Rabbi Funk and other Rabbis attesting to the adherence of various students to Les Kashruth, as well as outlining the Hillel House's Kosher Meal Plan to prospective students.
