We don't really know much about him. I picture Meshullam as an average guy. He's mentioned in a couple of verses in chapter 3 of Nehemiah. Something like, "Meshullam fixed the such-and-such gate." (please look it up for the actual verse). That's the cool part really. He's a normal guy, doing something that he probably didn't think was special, but in the big picture it was HUGE. That inspires me when I clean the toilet.

The teens had a great time. We decided to do another project in August.

Cute stuff. I bet these kids had a load of fun. But who the heck WAS Meshullam?
