Jerusalem Kitchen: The Past Month

Hey guys!

I'm really behind on posting on here and just don't know what of all the things that have happened in the last month to write about. So instead of trying to summarize one event, I decided I should just write a list of some of the things that we've done since I last posted on Septemeber 24th.
