About the Cover Artist — Blimie Twerski
B
limie (blee-me) is a
proud Canadian living
in Milwaukee, Wis.,
enjoying the slow pace
of “smaller city” living,
and sometimes missing
the chaos of the big
city. She and her family
live on the West Side of
Milwaukee, where her
husband, Rabbi Chaim is
assistant rabbi to his father,
Rabbi Benzion and grandfather, Reb
Michel Twerski at Congregation Beth Jehudah.
Together they and their wives all assist their
community in matters physical and spiritual,
helping build up the Orthodox community in Milwaukee.
They are proud parents at Yeshiva Elementary School,
with their oldest graduating this year. As a family, they
love to take road trips each summer, creating priceless
memories, exploring National Parks and marveling at the
wondrous and beautiful world our Creator has gifted us.
Blimie is a creative at heart. She is a professional
photographer who photographs her family on the
daily, exploring what motherhood feels like, focusing
on the uniqueness of each child and how childhood
and motherhood relate to each other. She is inspired by
light, color and details. In her personal work, Blimie also
explores what it means to be living an Orthodox Jewish
life, highlighting cultural tradition and shared humanity.
Blimie offers storytelling photography sessions,
photographing families, brands and businesses in a
photojournalistic and documentary approach. When
commissioned, Blimie sees her clients in their role
as parents (or business owners) and photographs
them the same way she would photograph her
own, expertly telling their story with photos.
Besides photography, Blimie enjoys being outdoors,
feeling the sun on her face, organizing and clearing
clutter and she appreciates the challenge in assisting
others with interior space planning and design.
