In all likelihood, you have loved ones in Israel, either olim or people there temporarily. With Purim less than four weeks away, you’re probably also considering how to send your Israeli connections something special for Purim.
Tamarim Concierge, based in Modiin, Israel, offers a variety of services, including mishloach manot deliveries throughout Israel. Setting Tamarim apart from other gift basket services is a selection of high-end Israeli products that are sure to impress every recipient. The company will take pains to adhere strictly to any dietary needs such as gluten-free, nut-free, organic and so on.
With a range of 14 baskets to choose from, plus almost 20 specialized items to further enhance any delivery (wine, chocolate, tea, honey, cakes, coffee), Tamarim recently launched an online mishloach manot store to allow for quick and easy ordering.
“Last year we added mishloach manot to our services, and the response was fantastic,” shared co-founder Tammy Braverman. “People were looking for personalized, higher-end mishloach manot, and that approach fit perfectly into our already existing range of services.”
In addition to all sorts of personalized gift baskets (including student dorm packs and baby equipment packs), Tamarim offers aliyah and relocation assistance, property management, event planning and travel and itinerary development. Partners Tammy Braverman and Tamar Pearlman will be in New York from March 3 through 9 to participate in the Nefesh B’Nefesh Mega Aliyah Fair on March 6, and to host a number of parlor meetings in the NJ area with potential olim.
“There is so much that needs to be done when making aliyah,” explained Ms. Pearlman. “We leverage our personal experience to smooth the way for our clients.”
And by all accounts, Tamarim has hit on a successful model. Allan and Debbie Rosenberg recently moved from Teaneck to Raanana, and found that having additional professional help was key to a successful absorption.
“Tammy and Tamar were instrumental in making our aliyah a very smooth transition,” Mr. Rosenberg was happy to share. “They did everything from measuring spaces in our apartment and ordering our appliances, to arranging our water, tax and gas bills, to setting up our parking and toll apps, as well as making sure we had our phones and Internet all hooked up.
“Whether it is to assist in aliyah matters, looking after a young adult studying in Israel or even helping with day-to-day arrangements for anyone not able to navigate the foreign bureaucracies that exist in Israel, Tamarim is extremely efficient, pleasant and very easy to deal with.”
