Racheli Dubizh graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2026 with a BA in Global Studies, with a concentration in international affairs. Her honors thesis examined the experiences of social workers supporting ultra-Orthodox Jewish domestic abuse survivors, exploring the tensions between secular legal systems and Jewish law within insular religious communities.

As a Fulbright Award recipient pursuing an MA in Israel Studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Rothberg International School, Racheli will investigate the intersection of Israel’s secular and religious legal systems and their impact on contemporary Israeli society. Through her MA, she hopes to further focus on questions of legal pluralism, gender, religion and human rights within competing systems of jurisprudence.
