About

Hannah KatsmanHannah Katsman, author of A Mother in Israel.

I grew up in a traditional Jewish home in the US, and immigrated to Petach Tikva, Israel, in 1990.  A Mother in Israel is where I share my knowledge, experience and opinions as an Orthodox mom of six on parenting, education, Judaism, writing, women’s issues, Israeli baby names, and adjusting to life in Israel. But more than anything else, A Mother in Israel is a community. The action is in the comments–feel free to share your thoughts as well.

I am also a lactation consultant (IBCLC) and frequently write about breastfeeding issues. If you need a phone or in-person conversation, here is my Facebook page.

You can find me on Twitter (@mominisrael), where I was ranked #5 by the JTA among the most influential Jewish twitterers for 2010. Find us on Facebook, too.

I also invite you to check out my website devoted to efficient cooking techniques, CookingManager.Com.

Note: When writing about a book or product, I sometimes include affiliate links that send a portion of the proceeds from sales back to me. I do not receive compensation for reviews unless otherwise noted.

I am committed to upholding the World Health Organization Code for Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes. I use this list by Lauren Wayne to block Google ads shown to readers in Israel and other countries. If you see a formula ad, please send me the internet URL of the ad so that I can block it as well.
