Natalie Sopinsky, a Delaware native, was raised in an “all-American” Conservative Jewish family. Today she is a pistol-wearing, hitch-hiking settler living in the Hebron Hills. A lawyer, lifeguard, and Zumba instructor, the mother of five children, and wife of Philadelphia-public-school-teacher-turned-Israel-university-lecturer, Natalie represents the 150 communities in Judea and Samaria as Director of Development for Rescuers Without Borders Israel, the main US charity for emergency medical needs in the Jewish heartland. Natalie is also an executive team member of Partners in Aliyah, a grassroots movement helping match potential olim to more established olim who have successfully made the move to Israel.
