Have a good shabbos, Moshe
What an unexpected pleasure to hear from you. Frankly I had forgotten this Kiruv Cafe thing existed until I saw your message. I am currently sojourning in Chicago trying to figure out how to get back to where I came from. I have recently completed a book that I am in the process of either trying to get published or publish myself. I remember meeting you many years ago, I beleive you were in Monsey. Are you still there? I have 8 children and 6 grandchildren b'ah. Unfortunately I was divorced about 5 years ago, but look forward to trying again. Do you ever make it out to Chicago way?
I feel deeply privileged to think there was anything I did that made a difference to you back in the old days. Look forward to hearing from you.
Ksiva V'ct.
