hi all. this is melissa, the hub animator. i will be writing weekly posts, describing events and other worthwhile items at the Zion Hub, to give you a window into the magic and mystery that unfolds here. the format is stream of consciousness/free flow, which I hope will be more enjoyable (and somewhat cryptic/creative) than reading a boring paragraph.

It was an awesome party for a good cause last night at the Jerusalem hub -- and if you weren't able to get here in person, we hope you checked out our live-feed.

But the party isn't over! To share your vision, click herepresentensefellowship.org.

The tables are set, and the candels are almost lit...and shabbat is coming. Shabbat shalom!
