Fourteen and Searching: My Path to Judaism | Aliza Bulow
🎧 Listen to this and other episodes at www.joidenver.com/podcasts.
Welcome to Zero Percent, the podcast that explores Jewish conversion stories and the spiritual transformation journeys that follow.
At just 10 years old, Aliza Bulow knew Christianity wasn't her path. What followed was an extraordinary journey through atheism, Buddhist chanting, psychic healing workshops, and dozens of library books, all before she turned 14. When she finally discovered Judaism through a single book, "To Be a Jew" by Hayim Halevy Donin, she knew immediately that she was home. There was just one problem: she was 14, and nobody believed this was more than a teenage phase. In this deeply moving episode of Zero Percent, Aliza shares her remarkable conversion story and how it shaped her life's mission to empower Jewish educators worldwide.
🎯IN THIS EPISODE: Why Aliza began her spiritual search at age 10 Exploring atheism, Buddhism, and New Age spirituality as a young teenager The moment she read "To Be a Jew" and knew she was Jewish, without knowing any Jews Attending psychic healing workshops and chakra sessions at 14 How her parents' divorce and grief shaped her independence Convincing a rabbi to let her convert at 16. The Holocaust survivor who asked her the question that changed everything. From first-generation Jew to leading Jewish educator: The concept of "squeeze and receive" in Jewish transformation
