In 2007, Tamar Wisemon co-founded Sviva Israel with her husband, Carmi, to change the dynamics of how Israelis and Jews from all sectors of society around the world relate to their Jewish environmental identity, to one another and to the world. They now run the largest global Jewish environmental school network with integration of Web 3.0 technology into quality educational curricula and hands-on workshops inside the schools.
In 2009, Sviva Israel won the Microsoft Israel R&D Community VC Contest and Tamar left her position at a social start-up to join Sviva Israel full-time, leading the development of the Eco Campus, an online school platform and social network for Generation Z. A former journalist and children’s book author who has written for the Jerusalem Post and Jerusalem Report, Tamar now specializes in the intersection of social media, education and social change. In March 2011, Tamar was the Israeli participant in a United States Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program on Media Literacy: Promoting Civil Society Through New Media Technology.
A member of KolDor and former Co-Chair of Jewish Social Action Month (JSAM), Tamar is originally from the UK, having moved to Israel as a student. She lives in Beit Shemesh, Israel, with her husband and six children.
