The Palmach generally opposed women fighting at the front, however Ben-Yehuda was a commander and participated in several battles by performing sabotage operations.

[3] Ben-Yehuda considered competing in discus throwing at the Olympics, but a bullet injury to her arm kept her from pursuing an athletic career.

Ben Yehuda worked as a freelance editor, and in 1972 published The World Dictionary of Hebrew Slang.

She was the host of a late-night Israel Radio show for 14 years where she played old-time Israeli songs and spoke with callers.
