During her residence in Israel, Taitz completed a dentistry degree at Hebrew University.
In 1987 she met her husband Yosef when he visited Israel. After he proposed, she emigrated to the United States where they married in Las Vegas. She later received her law degree from Taft Law School which "specializes in 'distance learning law programs to qualified students around the world and subsequently passed the California bar exam.
She obtained a real estate broker's license from the State of California that expired in February of 2008.
Taitz currently lives in Laguna Niguel, California,[11] and owns dental practices in nearby Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita.
A photo caption accompanying a 1990 Los Angeles Times article identified Taitz as a volunteer at the Share Our Selves dental clinic in Costa Mesa.
She has three sons, holds a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, and speaks five languages: English, Hebrew, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish.
Before her recent national news exposure, Taitz had previously been personally involved in lawsuits in Orange County civil court, including suing Tarbut V' Torah, the private school her son attended, for what she claimed was his "unfair expulsion". Most of the other cases involved "accusations of dental and medical malpractice" and breach of contract suits.
She was quoted in the Orange County Register in 2006 supporting Israeli military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah, and downplaying the impact of the espionage trial of two American Israel Public Affairs Committee staffers.
Taitz said that she lost relatives in the Holocaust, and that her grandmother witnessed the Kishinev Pogrom.2008—2009 legal/advocacy activities
Taitz alleges that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and that he falsified his Selective Service papers and his application to the Illinois bar.
Regarding Obama, Taitz has said: "I believe he is the most dangerous thing one can imagine, in that he represents radical communism and radical Islam:
He was born and raised in radical Islam, all of his associations are with radical Islam, and he was groomed in the environment of the dirty Chicago mafia.
Can there be anything scarier than that?"
(I think there's all kinds of things scarier than that. Like a wakened and enraged populace for example.)
Other Obama-related conspiracy theories Taitz has repeated include:
* A number of homosexuals from Obama's former church have died mysteriously.
* Obama has dozens of social security numbers, and his passport is inaccurate. Taitz claims that a person who was cooperating with the FBI in connection with Obama's passport died mysteriously, "shot in the head".
* A Kenyan birth certificate with the name "Barack Obama" is authentic.
* Obama's first act as president was to donate money to Hamas, which she claims will be used to build Qassam rockets.
* Obama or someone connected to him has made threats to Taitz's life, including vandalizing her car.
* Obama is having FEMA build internment camps for "Anti-Obama dissidents"
Wow.
Poor Orly, everyone's out to get her: her kid's school, her patients, her business partners. It's a good thing she has a law degree, and awesome legal skills, so that she can defend herself against those evildoers in court.
