- Trigger Warning: We discuss suicide in this episode.
988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - Help is available.
Aliza Bulow is the founder and director of Core, an organization that connects Jewish women and strengthens Jewish homes and communities. In addition, she travels regularly to offer guidance, leadership training and strategic planning for Jewish Outreach organizations and Jewish communities throughout the continent.
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.
We discuss: being a geyoris, working in the army, raising a child with autsim, life after her son's suicide, her marriage, starting Core and so much more.

Glad I came across this interview. My son passed away 3 months ago at the age of 18 but I got to know, after his grandma's passing, that he really didn't have much will to live. He, like Aliza's son, was very intelligent and older than his age and was very inquisitive from a young age. I've had friends recommend I go for bereavement counselling should I find myself struggling but I've felt that I don't think I'll benefit from it. I have recently had to accept that deep down I knew he wasn't gonna live for long but I was in denial. I totally get how she handled her son's passing. I have been praying to meet someone who understands me because the way I have been grieving isn't how people expected. Thank you for this interview
Wowow!!As a mother of many bh, a Bubby of many bh, I’ve never listened to such an incredible interview…..& yet……from a giyoret too!! Chazak Ubaruch to U Aliza for being so open, honest, tolerant&much more…May Hashem bentch U&your loved ones with much yiddisha nachat, health&arichut yamim!! Lchaim!!🥂🥂🥂🥂
Yaakov Langer, your podcasts are enlightening, compassionate, conducted humbly and so personable. For Aliza Bulow, I want to thank you for coming to speak and give of yourself. Yesterday was Tisha B'Av, I live in Israel and through the sirens on Shabbat and on Tisha B'Av, HaShem gifted me on Monday with watching your interview. Thank you both for shining your light !!
This is one of the best interviews I've heard in my life. Besides the excellent interviewing skills and sincerity, there is the validation of Aliza discussing challenges often treated as the elephant in the room so that the survivors suffer alone and sometimes even in shame. The emotional health, maturity, emuna and bitachon portrayed here are a blessed service to the community of people who have suffered alone. Bracha, hatzlacha and Yiddishe nachas to both of you. PS I also greatly appreciate you explaining why you would say, Gd bless America after visiting the "workers' paradise". I understand just how many Americans have no idea how good they have it and hopefully, that will not be the downfall of the great country that has helped humanity in ways so many do not appreciate (l'havdil similar to the Jews).
WOW! That is a true inspiration! After all she's been through, she's still so strong. wow. I wish I could meet her in person. Thank you so much Yaakov!
Just wow!! She is such an incredible woman!! So much to learn from!! May hashem continue giving her and her family strength and health!
Mesmerized. Needed to keep pausing to digest and pinch myself….nice to know such people exist! Thank you Yaakov and Aliza for your raw honesty and encouragement
This interview was extraordinary. Wow! I, too, had tears streaming down my face while listening. What an amazing person Aliza is!
Aliza, thank you! Your perspective and openness is refreshing and so raw.
This was incredible. Aliza, you are one of a kind. It’s a privilege to know you!
I loved this episode so much. One of the few that I actually DIDN'T cry from because I found it so inspiring and hopeful. I love how real Mrs. Bulow is!! So incredible!

Wow this was so deep and raw, I don't think I've ever heard such a perspective on a child struggling with suicide

Amazing, of course!!
Amazing woman with an amazing story
Wow. No words. Never judge anyone. Never
Totally related to so much of what Mrs Bulow said and even predicted her choice of Sarah.I grew up in a small town in S Africa,no rav or shul for much of my life and was called crazy for starting to become frum at age 11.As Orthodox educator, social worker and mom of 4 gorgeous adult kids in Israel, find myself totally in AWE of Mrs Bulow and everything she shared.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.Your wisdom, insight,honesty and and and is inspiring and moving.Toda.
Its fascinating how, as a convert to Judaism, she is so amazingly knowledgeable in every Jewish aspect that exists!
WOW! I am hanging onto every word this woman says.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is an understatement.
Fantastic interview !!!!
Wow, wow unbelievable! Aliza, keep up your great work. Your an inspiration to us all. Yakov, thank you for presenting us with such a holy person.
We are such a warm community.
Incredible! What an amazing person ❤ Hashem should answer all your tefillos
Am speechless and fullof wonder at נפלאות הבורא...
כתיבה וחתימה טובה💫
בס"ד
עליזה - אני קוראת לך הרבנית עליזה - את האשה הכי מדהימה שאי פעם שמעתי!!!!
I wanted to say that in Hebrew, but be sure Im American living in Israel for almost four decades and understand English well, and .I want to say that in English as well
I never heard such a bright, intelligent, so full of emunah, active and extraordinary personality!!!!
Wow! what life experience that you are sharing with everyone
the way you dealt and deal with all this,
and most of all - what
you are accomplishing in the frum world!
Your contagous love for Hashem and the
Torah:
You are an amazing women with a great Neshomeh!!
Thanks!
So inspiring
One of the best conversations I've heard in a long time! Also, Mrs. Bulow quoted a somewhat famous teaching of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov zya; "Viha'ikur lo lifacheid klal!" However, this is a misquote and Rebbe Nachman's actual words are more compelling: "Viha'ikur lo liHisfachied klal!" After listening to her life's journey on this podcast as well as snippets in others, it's clear that Mrs. Bulow is living the directive of Rebbe Nachman.
Incredible
Thank you
Wow, just wow.
Wow what a fantastic and inspiration
Beyond awesome
Wow!,! Inspiring! Special woman! Never gives up! Strong !
Wow so Amazing Yakov
Rabbi donen was my parents masader kadushin... so cool to hear this
Great podcast! Keep up a good work! You asked to suggest a person to interview… I would suggest Rebezin Tehila Yeyger that Aliza actually mentioned in this interview. I also know her personally, she’s a great role model and has an interesting life experiences that we all can learn from.
superb. powerful. thank you so much....
Wow! The CORE program sounds amazing! In my chasidus the women have such groups for many years already and it is vital!!!
this was really special! such resilience! she is the definition of simcha, living with g.d and accepting life as it is ! thank you!
also how can someone contact Yaakov Langer?
Ahh! !Raquel!? I love your classes! I want to get in touch with you
Love 💝 love you ❤️💞😘
She is so inspiring I wish that my family could be. Connected as she is with her husband because I am FFB I had my ups and down but the women are to rigid to forgive and accept
Because there is so many
Ffb that have no connection with their wives
It's all a act we need to teach women to be more
Flexible and supportive to their husband's even if it's a challenge.
I have written a few articles about Aliza. You still haven't heard it all. She is truly amazing. I am in the process of writing a book about another georis who came from an idolatry religion. Be in touch if you would like to interview her.
Wow. Omg. Yes! Please email us hi@LivingLchaim.com
Same as Norfolk VA.💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I truly enjoyed your intellect Aliza. It is so tragic that a side effect of anti depressants is suicide. I was wondering if he was on them as soon as you brought him up. May we be a drug free world and not have these horrible side effects.
Please don't spread untruths about medicine and medications. You might harm people.
Shoutout to Faiga Leah Landau 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please interview Chana Mason!
Sorry if I sound dumb as I can imagine this sounds,particularly in the face of such courage,positivity and...just Greatness! But...What was the thing causing Doniel Moshe the 'life of pain',as he said it,or was it a combination...?
No specific big "trauma", just Inner brain chemistry and wiring and then everything that follows that...
I definitely know an amazing Rebbetzin for this
Love❤😅
Such heart ache. Just a little feedback. I am not Jewish. So many words I did not know what they mean .
She was also non Jewish. She converted.
men get together in shul. women too need a place. in many communities, women get together for shiurim.
Who is the Rabbi behind her CORE program
what about living in israel ? that is a good choice too :)
