My Machaneh Yehuda (Hebrew)

A Hebrew book of stories: מחנה יהודה שלי (My Machaneh Yehuda) by Eli Nachum, who also illustrated it. Edited by Shiran Halimi.

Eli Nachum was born in 1962 and grew up in the Machaneh Yehuda neighborhood of Jerusalem. In these stories he shares experiences from his childhood and adult years there: family, friends and neighbors, school and synagogue, the narrow alleys, and the tastes and smells of the stalls in the Machaneh Yehuda market right next to his home.

The stories are seasoned with humor and full of nostalgia, a warm read for anyone who knows and loves Jerusalem's famous shuk or remembers the neighborhoods of old Jerusalem. 116 pages, Gefen, 2022.
