Ariela Benit was born and raised in Israel. After completing her bachelor’s degree, she worked as a high school teacher. Shortly after getting married, she moved with her husband and eldest son to Colombia, South America. Two years later, they relocated to Chicago for a brief period before settling in Florida, where they lived for about 25 years and where her daughter was born. During this time, she received her master’s degree in education and taught Hebrew in one of the local Jewish schools. A few years later, she changed profession and became a Paramedic.
In the last 15 years, she has organized ceremonies in memory of fallen IDF soldiers, and hosted a special program focused on the history of the Land of Israel. In recent years, she has been living in New Zealand, where she primarily organizes ceremonies and teaches first aid.
