Balabusta is a Yiddish expression describing a good homemaker among Ashkenazi Jews. The word derives from the Hebrew word ba'alat-habayit. In contradistinction to the English terms "housewife" or "homemaker", it usually has purely positive connotations, although there are sources that claim otherwise. The traditional role of the balabusta also includes, besides fulfilling the household duties for the family, its spiritual bonding and helping its members hold together. Variations on this word include the Yiddish Balabuste or Balabusteh and the Ladino Balabusha among Sephardi Jews.
