She recently completed her MSW at Ariel University.

Originally South African, Ari grew up in Melbourne, Australia. After spending a year in Israel, he completed a B.Comm. at Monash University and was involved in Jewish formal and informal education.

Ed. in Tanach from Herzog College, an M.A in Tanach from Bar Ilan and is currently completing his PhD focussing on Second Temple Judaism.
