 * He works in the kitchen
 * He takes a small round loaf of bread, like an extra big hamburger bun or sandwich roll, and he cuts it mostly in half, hollows it out a little bit, and then fills it with the most fantastic secret blend of herbs and cheeses and diced tomatos, wraps it up, and bakes it under some bricks.

 * "We... never thought she'd be able to have children. She was just too weak physically, despite being a monk. Min Shoftim are the only ones, you know? But out of nowhere we were blessed with Yeshua," he says, taking Yesh's hands in his with an emotional little smile Yesh returns warmly. "But it was just- hard on her. So hard. And then when the time came, there were... complications. Hemorrhaging. She... she bled out after the delivery."

But she's not... right... emotionally. Almost like she has a mental retardation when it comes to social interaction. She can learn it, but it doesn't come naturally. Someone needs to teach her how to handle customers. Most places won't give her a chance like that to learn. But if she learns it with you, she can get other similar jobs.
