Author: Tami Lehman-Wilzig
Born in the United States, Tami Lehman-Wilzig moved to Israel in 1977. Tami holds a B.A. in English Literature and a M.S. in Communications (Boston University). Today, she is one of Israel’s leading English-language advertising copywriters. Known for her expertise in the food industry, Tami works with many of Israel’s leading food exporters and has authored two cookbooks: The Melting Pot and A Taste of Egypt. During her off work hours, Tami writes children’s stories. Her first book, Hlik Lak, was published in Hebrew by Yediot Ahranot in 1996. In 2003 Kar-Ben (a division of Lerner Publishing), published Tasty Bible Stories. In January 2004, Kar-Ben published her second book with them: Keeping The Promise. The idea to write Tasty Bible Stories came to Tami through her joint love of studying the Bible and writing about food. With so many scenarios in the Bible revolving around provisions and feasts, she decided to bring the Bible alive by creating an enjoyable, reader-friendly book for kids and parents that offers quality time both in the reading room and the kitchen. Tami was inspired to write Keeping The Promise the day after the Columbia space shuttle’s launching, when she read the YNET story on the torah scroll that Ilan Ramon took with him into outer space. Keeping The Promise is the recipient of a 2005 International Reading Association (IRA) Teachers’ Choice Award. Married to a university professor and the mother of two grown boys, Tami lives in Petach Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv.
