‘Tamarim: Your Concierge in Israel’ Provides Mishloach Manot to Loved Ones

“I have just returned from a wonderful trip to Israel with my whole family—a trip made much smoother through the help of Tammy and Tamar at Tamarim Concierge. Both of these young ladies are knowledgeable, helpful, very timely in their responses and a pleasure to work with. They arranged a family dinner for the first night we were there that covered everything, including the menu. I didn’t have to lift a finger. They created hostess gifts for all of my family that came out absolutely beautiful and delighted the adults and children as well. This included having the logo for our trip embroidered on Emanuel towels. They turned out perfect! And they also set me up with a wonderful photographer who came to the park near our hotel to take family photos. She, too, was delightful to work with. I cannot say enough about Tamarim Concierge. They truly took care of everything we needed, including sending a Chanukah basket to my grandson in yeshiva in Israel. I am planning to have them send a Purim package as well.”

This hot-off-the-press testimony of Caroline Barg of Chicago, bubby of the Sheffey clan of Teaneck, is but one of dozens of testimonies to the overwhelmingly special service provided by Tammy Braverman and Tamar Pearlman, owners of Tamarim Concierge in Israel. Launched in 2012, Tamarim has provided hundreds of English-speaking visitors and residents of Israel with their exact needs in a highly professional and always affable manner.

Tammy Braverman met future partner Tamar Pearlman in 2007 after they had both made aliyah, Tammy from Monsey, New York, and Tamar from Glasgow, Scotland. Classmates at an ulpan in Modiin where they both resided, they each realized that the professional skills they had accrued in their previous lives afforded them the organizational, multi-tasking and attention-to-detail skills that could be put to great use in assisting Anglos visiting Israel and making aliyah. Their initiation came in 2009 when they planned a bar mitzvah celebration for an American family, after which they were invited to design and manage an apartment for future olim. Word spread and Tamarim Concierge was born.

Currently the services provided by Tamarim Concierge are manifold and diversified. Their “Aliyah and Relocation” service assists in locating a home and researching, purchasing and arranging delivery of furniture and appliances. Utility setup is an extremely stress-reducing service that arranges for all utilities to be installed into the new home before the family’s arrival. “Property Management” services include bill payment, oversight of renovations, maintenance of property, installation and oversight of utilities and management of rentals. Their “Events” service provides personalized assistance in every possible detail of an event through excellent contacts and personal attention. Tamarim Concierge provides “Itinerary and Travel” services through recommending top-notch tour guides and arranging reservations for hotels, cars, food deliveries and restaurants.

Tamarim Concierge has become a widely popular site for packages of all varieties and for all occasions. “Gifts and Deliveries” include Israeli food and beverage ingredients of the highest quality that cater to all kashruth requirements and special dietary needs. Gift packages include Shabbat and chagim host gifts; corporate gifts; specialty packages of wines, coffees and teas; get well packages; and even post-baby pampering gifts. “Student Dorm Packs” include linens, kitchenware, small appliances and other bulky necessities that your gap-year son/daughter may need, which are delivered in a timely and friendly fashion to the yeshiva or seminary.

As we approach the chag of Purim, Tamarim Concierge invites you to visit their online store for a look at their wide-ranging varieties of mishloach manot packages, ranging from themes of food varieties to fanciful and fun foods. These attractive packages can be ordered conveniently online to be delivered to your family and friends in Israel this Purim, which falls on Saturday night, March 11. At www.tamarimconcierge.com you can select from their multiple prepared assortments as well as design your own according to the tastes of your recipients. If you are wondering whether Tamarim can accommodate your special whims, the answer is “Of course! We do that.”
