Racheli is a social activist and entrepreneur who made a revolution in the attitude of the ultra-orthodox society to sexual abuse and assaults. She has a Master's Degree in Gender Studies and founded and headed "Lo Tishtok" – an organization that provides solutions to sexual abuse in the ultra-orthodox sector.

As a child growing up at Ger Hasidic dynasty, Racheli experienced firsthand not only an overwhelming sexual assault, but also the petrifying conspiracy of silence and lack of appropriate solutions in the entire ultra-orthodox sector concerning sexual abuse in this closed, reclusive society.



As an adult, thanks to a groundbreaking, inspiring vision, Racheli has led and was part of founding the support center "Mikatze Lekatze" for victims of sexual abuse in the ultra-orthodox sector and their families, including close support of victims from the minute they approach the center until the end of treatment.

With time, "Lo Tishtok" merged into "Magen" Association where Racheli serves as VP Education, Training and Foreign Relations. Within this association Racheli envisioned and founded a training program that includes parlor meetings, publicity campaigns, and workshops for parents, educators, and the community. This program helps increasing the awareness and ability to identify sexual abuse in children and provide them with practical tools to take action.



Over the years Racheli has taken part in the exposure of ultra-orthodox aggressors and abusers, some of whom had great power and were highly estimated by the community thus keeping their secret for a long time. She helped their victims to receive the recognition of the harsh experience they had undergone and has been a driving force in the dramatic awareness revolution that currently takes place in the ultra-orthodox society. Racheli has kept ongoing contact with Knesset Members, governmental and law officials, journalists and the media, all of which teamed up to publish the victims' stories, and has kept a close eye on the media and public discourse in highly public cases.

Racheli lives in Beit Nekofa and is a mother of three.
