• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 1, or 2
• Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL (unless caused by underlying disease, as established by extensive bone marrow involvement or as a result of hypersplenism secondary to the involvement of the spleen by lymphoma per the investigator)
• Absolute neutrophil count >= 1.0 x 10^9/L (unless caused by underlying disease, as established by extensive bone marrow involvement or as a result of hypersplenism secondary to the involvement of the spleen by lymphoma per the investigator)
• Platelet count >= 75 x 10^9/L (unless caused by underlying disease, as established by extensive bone marrow involvement or as a result of hypersplenism secondary to the involvement of the spleen by lymphoma per the investigator)
• International normalized ratio > 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation
• Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated PTT (aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN
• Creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min, calculated with the use of the 24-hour creatinine clearance or modified Cockcroft-Gault equation
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x ULN
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN (or =< 3 x ULN for patients with documented Gilbert syndrome)
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to registration

• For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a contraceptive method with a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of venetoclax and lenalidomide or 12 months after the last dose of rituximab, whichever is longer * Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period

  * A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (>= 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus) * Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices * The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception

• For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below: * With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of rituximab and for at least 30 days after the last dose of venetoclax and lenalidomide whichever is longer. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period * With pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of rituximab to avoid exposing the embryo * The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs study drugs

• Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant is not permitted if patient is fewer than 4 months from transplant and has either active graft versus host disease or on immunosuppression
• History of severe allergic reactions to humanized monoclonal antibodies
• Prior use of lenalidomide or venetoclax or other BCL2 family inhibitors; prior rituximab is allowed as long as they continue to express CD20 and are not rituximab refractory as defined as: * Did not respond (at least a partial response [PR]) to rituximab or rituximab (R)-chemoregimen therapy * Time to disease progression < 6 months after last rituximab dose
• History of other malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results * Patients with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or stage 1 melanoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible * Patients with a malignancy that has been treated with surgery alone with curative intent will also be excluded. Individuals in documented remission without treatment for >= 2 years prior to enrollment may be included at the discretion of the investigator
