Completed her academic studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.  She has taught in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature since the year 2000.

Her doctoral dissertation was supervised by Professor Sarah Stroumsa and Prof. Etan Kohlberg.  It focused on the question of man’s reward after death according to the commentator and theologian Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī, who belonged to the Ash‘arite school of thought. Dr. Levi’s discussion also included the views of the rival school to the Ash‘ariyya, namely the Mu‛tazila, regarding this issue.

Her research interests include:  Quranic exegesis, kalām literature, and the linguistic and cultural aspects of the Arabic language - written and spoken.
