Raziel completed his high school studies at Tachkemoni, where his father taught, and continued his studies at Yeshivat Merkaz Harav in Jerusalem. In addition, he studied at the Hebrew University and was a member of the El Al student union. Raziel changed his negative attitude towards the British following the new common enemy at the outbreak of World War II - the Nazis. In 1941 Raziel was sent by the British to Iraq to suppress an anti-British revolt there. He headed out of a commando unit of four.
