Meet Aliza
Aliza Bulow is an Ivri. She strives to, “לֶךְ־לְךָ Go to yourself…. וֶהְיֵ֖ה בְּרָכָֽה׃ and be a blessing.” (Gen. 12:1-2) and to help others do the same.
She is the founder and director of WICK, Women in Chizuk and Kiruv, a network that supports and connects women who work in Jewish Adult Education and Outreach across the globe. In addition, she travels regularly to offer guidance, leadership training and strategic planning for Jewish Outreach organizations and Jewish communities throughout the continent.
In between travels, Aliza teaches a weekly women’s text study class in her home city of Denver, Colorado. A Jewish Educator for over thirty years, Aliza lectures both locally and internationally on a wide array of Jewish subjects.
Born to activist parents in the 1960’s, Aliza's community building began early as her upbringing was intensely impacted by her parents’ deep commitment to the civil rights movement. Her own activism took root during her early high school years in the fight for freedom for Soviet Jews. Her passion for Judaism and the Jewish people then took her to Israel where she studied for 2 years at Michlelet Bruria and Hebrew University.
With a growing desire to build and contribute, Aliza explored various avenues to serve the State of Israel and finally chose to enlist in the Israeli Defense Forces from 1982-1984, during the first Lebanon war. She served in the Nachal Unit with a religious group that was dedicated to building communities in the Land of Israel.
Though her dream was to stay in Israel, her soul mate was in law school in America. She married Ephraim Bulow after he graduated, and then they traveled to Russia to visit refusniks before setting up their own home in Long Beach, NY.
Aliza completed her degree in Hebrew and Jewish Social Studies at Hunter College on the very day that their first child was born. Six children, two foster children, a bouquet of grandchildren, and lots and lots of smiles, sorrows and stories later, the Bulows are happily empty nested.
Now able to invest more effectively and travel more broadly, Aliza's passion continues to grow as she helps individuals, organizations and the Jewish community see further, dig deeper, reach higher and radiate its light.
