She served two and a half years in the Israeli army before she land­ed a star­ring role on the nation’s high­est-rat­ed prime time dra­ma Ramat Aviv Gim­mel. She became a house­hold name, appear­ing in numer­ous TV shows, films, the­ater pro­duc­tions, and nation­al fash­ion cam­paigns, before mov­ing to Los Ange­les, where she sold the Israeli TV show In Treat­ment to HBO, mak­ing his­to­ry as the first Israeli tele­vi­sion show to become an Amer­i­can series. She copro­duced over 150 episodes, which earned a Peabody Award and twelve Emmy and Gold­en Globe nom­i­na­tions. A pas­sion­ate polit­i­cal activist, Tish­by found­ed the non­prof­it ​“Act for Israel,” Israel’s first online advo­ca­cy orga­ni­za­tion, and has become wide­ly known as Israel’s unof­fi­cial ambassador.
