From Jerusalem to the Edge of Heaven fuses different media and styles to explore vastly different yet inescapably connected moments in Jewish history: the ancient Babylonian yeshivah at Pumbedita; Jerusalem, a decade after independence; and Gaza during the Intifada.

The theme of children is highlighted as well in the illustrations, details from Pieter Breughel’s Children’s Games.
