Seeing the Bigger Picture with Core Founder Aliza Bulow

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I’m Alex Segal, and today, we are kicking off our Elul Energy series with the ever-inspiring Aliza Bulow.

In the episode, we speak about:

-Where she comes from and what guides her mission in life

-Her genuine relationship to Torah and why she calls it a “transformational treasure trove”

-Why she started an organization revolving around women and what we can all take from that

-Why we are lonelier than ever now when it comes to real friendships and connections and what to do about it

-How you can actually achieve the dreams and goals you have for yourself

-How she nourishes her emunah, or faith and how she finds comfort in Hashem, without fear

-Her advice and experience building a healthy and strong marriage despite many differences

-How to keep your mind on the bigger picture

…and honestly SO much more.

More about Aliza:

Aliza Bulow is the Founding Director of Core, an organization that connects, develops and supports Orthodox women who engage in Jewish communal work. She is also an author, educator and mentor to Jewish communal leaders and lay people around the world. Before founding Core, she directed Ner LeElef’s North American Women’s Program for 11 years where she coached rebbitzens and provided strategic development for outreach organizations in Canada, the US and Mexico.

Her love of Jewish texts and philosophy was developed at Michlelet Bruria, Hebrew University and Hunter College where she graduated with honors in Hebrew and Jewish Studies. In her early career, she worked for Partners in Torah and The Jewish Experience. Even before entering college, Aliza’s passion for strengthening Jews and the Jewish community led her to campaign on behalf of Soviet Jewry and build settlements in Israel while serving in Nachal. That early passion has only grown with time. Over the past four decades, Aliza has worked with hundreds of women in over 50 cities and 5 continents, strengthening the social fabric of the Jewish People. More information is available on her website: ABiteOfTorah.com or about Core at CoreTorah.org.
