[1] Later, after several years of working for Reuven Rivlin in the Knesset, she pursued a degree in management and computer science at the Open University of Israel.
However, the pay was low – 700 shekels per month – so when her father-in-law, Rabbi Avraham Ravitz, head of the Knesset Finance Committee, needed a parliamentary assistant, she applied for the job.
[1] Three years later, she was forced to leave Ravitz's employ due to a new law prohibiting government officials from hiring family members.
[4] She then began working as a parliamentary assistant to Reuven Rivlin, another member of the Finance Committee, at a salary of 4,500 shekels per month.
[1][4] Ravitz considers her high-profile position an opportunity to display her religious commitment and make a Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of God's name).
[4] She does not fraternize with male colleagues or participate in "staff-consolidation days", and refrains from shaking hands when greeting men, in keeping with halakha.
[1] During Rivlin's visit to the United States towards the end of his term, President Biden kneeled before Ravitz upon hearing that she is a mother of 12 children.
