After his military service, he worked as a sports journalist. At the newspaper, there was also a religious Zionist writer, and Rami would direct questions about Torah and faith to him. When he could no longer answer the many questions, he referred Rami to his friend Rabbi Moshe Dickstein, who became Rami's close friend. On Rabbi Moshe's advice, Rami went to study at the Chabad Chassidic Yeshiva in Tzfat. After his marriage, he managed the physical aspects of the yeshiva and conducted fundraising missions worldwide. One of his achievements was purchasing the "Rakefet" hotel which became the yeshiva dormitory. When moving into business with the Rebbe's blessing, he performed an extraordinary act of kindness by taking on all the yeshiva's debts totaling about $2.5 million, which he paid off completely within about ten years. | After his military service, he worked as a sports journalist.
