Balabush! Elijah Sadik

A mysterious old photograph, a little white cake and an ancient covenant of friendship come together on the day that little Tewfik Alguzi is sent from the Old City of Jerusalem on a special errand to Meah Shearim, the religious enclave in the 'New City' to the West. On the way he meets an Israeli police officer, a peace activist, an Ethiopian priest and an old Jewish apothecary with an astonishing tale to tell.



Balabush! is an illustrated voyage of discovery that explores the potentialities of peaceful co-existence between different peoples and faiths, and the simple wisdom of teaching our children to respect the common humanity of each individual.
