Yehuda also practices hydrotherapy. Elram graduated from Harvard Kennedy School, with an MPA focusing on leadership and entrepreneurship.[4]

Elram created a chicken sexing solution for the poultry and egg industry which prevents the unnecessary male chick culling of 8 billion male chicks every year, providing a non-invasive method for sex detection of chick embryos to be deployed in hatcheries worldwide. This method saves 8 billion chicks every year, which in turn saves the industry billions of dollars, reduces the carbon footprint of the poultry&egg industries and can add adds 84 billion additional eggs as an ingredient to the chemical industry.[5] This method saves 4 billion chicks every year, which in turn saves the industry billions of dollars, and adds 4 billion additional eggs to the global supply chain.[6][7][8] In 2022 Elram performed a Tedx Talk entitled "Counting chicken: How gene editing saves lives, livestock, and livelihood" on the subject.[9]
