[citation needed] Reisfeld became the head of the science research team at The Institute of Chemistry of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1975.

A week earlier, she had been a passenger aboard Air France flight 139 from Tel Aviv via Athens to Paris that was abducted by a commando of Palestinian and German air pirates attempting to press for the release of 55 mainly Palestinian prisoners held in Israel and other countries on terrorism charges.

Reisfeld was one of several witnesses who shared their experiences in media interviews immediately after their return to Israel[8] as well as on the occasion of the event's 40-year anniversary.

In 2005 she received an Honorary degree – Professor Honoris Causa from the Polish Academy of Science, Wrocław, Poland.
