Alina Gerlovin Spaulding

The story of Alina Gerlovin Spaulding, is a miracle story in which we each share a part. The dollars raised by Federations like ours, have allowed Alina and her family to be part of the American Jewish community. Alina

emigrated to this country in 1979 with the help of many Jewish agencies funded by our Federation dollars. Her parents tried to leave the Former Soviet Union for several years, but were granted permission only when the worldwide Jewish community stepped forth.

Alina is involved in humanitarian causes in the United States and overseas. Alina coordinated the Delet Camp program between Greensboro and Beltzy, Moldova for 5 years. She has also traveled to Minsk with Jewish Healthcare International on a mental health and Jewish education mission intended to build a more vibrant and healthy Jewish community in Belarus. Alina was one of 17 fellows from around the world to take part in the first class of the Brandeis/ Bronfman Institute for Informal Jewish Education and one of 10 fellows from North America to take part in the prestigious Covenant Fellowship program for Jewish Education.

Alina currently works for the American Hebrew Academy as the Director of Communications. Her story will educate people about what Federation dollars do in the States and overseas and will inspire donors.
