Her family was traditional, and Koren attended a Bais Yaakov school. In 1971, her family moved to Kiryat Arba, and she later studied at the Givat Washington religious youth village. At age 17, she married Eli Koren, and relocated with him to Herzliya, where she studied at the Rishonim High School until she became pregnant. Later, at age 38, she began studying at the Open University of Israel, and received a BA in Social Sciences and Humanities, graduating with honors, then studied law, receiving a BA in Law from Ono Academic College and an MA in Law from Bar-Ilan University.
