It was nice to spend some time with you and your family at the Shevah Brochos last Monday night. Your wife was gracious as always and your soon-to-be one year old son Yossle is B’H more precious than ever.
We chatted about this and that; I asked you how married life was treating you and you responded by telling me how Yossle wakes you up about ten times a night, You asked me about single life and I replied with a shrug “ah you know how it is” Then we all had a good laugh when you shared that story from our year in Sheir Gimmel Misivtah that you love telling (although you do add a new detail every time).
As I said, I had a great time but this one thought won’t seem to leave me. It started with a soft murmur two years ago – A few months after your wedding and has steadily gotten louder every time you kid me about not being married or tell me an adorable anecdote about your son.

MOSCOW [JTA] — Nearly three years ago, Rabbi Yisroel Silberstein uprooted his wife and young son from New York and moved with them to the far eastern edge of Russia to start a new life as a Chabad emissary.
As with most Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis in Russia, it was a lifetime appointment. The mission: to nurture an enfeebled Jewish community of about 6,000, where intermarriage rates surpass 95 percent.
