Mrs. Arazi began her teaching career at L’Alliance, a Yeshiva for Girls, immediately after graduation, where she taught for five years. In 1986, Rabbi Hamra a’h invited her to join Yeshivat Ben Maimon, where she taught 7th grade and served as assistant principal for nine years. After Rabbi Hamra left Syria, Mrs. Arazi continued to teach math, reading comprehension, science, and history to students of all academic levels and ages until her family was granted permission to leave. It was during this time she realized her passion for teaching.
In 1994, she moved to America and worked at HSBC Bank until 2002. That year, Mrs. Arazi was given the opportunity to join Yeshivat Lev Torah, where she has been dedicated to nurturing and teaching the young children of the community ever since.
