Dorit Silverman

Dorit Silverman serves as vice president of the Hebrew Writers Association since 2015 and is also the head of the board of the Israeli literary magazine "Moznaim".
So far, she has published 20 novels—some of them searching for the Jewish idenity, others for the feminine identity and for the meaning of motherhood.
In 1990, Silverman received her PhD in Literature. Her books were translated into several languages, and she received several scholarships, awards, and grants, e.g. from The Tel-Aviv Foundation for Art and Literature, The Dov Sadan Foundation, the New York-based Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, The Israeli Film Fund, and the "kugel" Award for literature as well as The Prime Minister’s Award (in 2017).
