Bialik’s Muse

Bialik’s Muse
Razia Mizrahi

Ages 5-10
45 min
Hebrew

A highly imaginative girl named Zohar escapes the ridicule of the other children during a tour of Beit Bialik, hides in the poet’s room and miraculously, she wakes up his statue. Bialik is very concerned because his muse, Musa’le, with whom he wrote his poems and stories, never came back to nest on the eggs of creation, where his ideas would hatch. He is worried that if Musa’le doesn’t return, his creation in the world will fade. Zohar volunteers to help him, hoping that the children will stop making fun of her, too. Can she help Bialik, the world and herself?
