Yes, we have to say goodbye for the summer\u2026but I hope Balabasta will be back next July, because it is so much fun! I always love the shuk, the Machne Yehuda market is one of my favorite places in Jerusalem.\u00a0 Balabasta brings unexpected wonder into the myriad scents, colors, movement and rush of people: living flowers cascading from balconies, giant birds, Michael Greilsammer on a rooftop playing the violin, and just around the corner, a narrow alley becomes wide enough to embrace a world of people gathered around Nino Bitton and his band, playing music that makes your feet dance and your heart break.<\/p>\n

Balabasta is part of the Jerusalem Season of Culture, Balabasta artistic directors are Kobi Frig and Ido Levitt, and Itay Mautner is JSOC artistic director.<\/p>\n

Until next July, enjoy Elizur Reuveni’s photos from the last Balabasta, Monday, July 25, 2011:<\/p>\n
