Aug News 2021 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
Thank you to Discover Puerto Rico, Distrito T-Mobile, T-Mobile and Ketchum for inviting me to the grand opening party in San Juan Puerto Rico on August 14, 2021.See all the videos from our adventures here.
Are you looking for a sun-kissed Caribbean paradise with hundreds of years of history, fantastic food, beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, marvelous music and non-stop fun, La Isla del Encanto is the place for you.
I have visited Puerto Rico many times and sailed out of old San Juan for an entire Caribbean season when I worked for Royal Caribbean International.
Puerto Rico has one of the highest vaccination rates in the Americas, uses the US dollar and is a direct domestic flight from many parts of the USA.
You can walk from the 500 year-old UNESCO forts of Castillo de San Cristóbal and Castillo de San Cristóbal in old San Juan to the newest entertainment hub which is Puerto Rico’s L.A. Live called Distrito T-Mobile. See you in Puerto Rico!
Did you know that Puerto Rico is a domestic flight away from Los Angeles, you can use your same phone plan, US dollars and, of course, there is no passport required! See you in San Juan!

The Phoenix of Gaza exhibit gives students a false, entirely one-sided narrative designed to gin up hatred of Israel and all who side, or even slightly sympathize, with Israel.
In this election season, candidates for office are being asked whether they are taking Jewish money or seeking to change Assembly Bill 715, the landmark bill to protect Jewish children in public K-12 education against antisemitism.
Best known for her “Everything is Energy” podcast, transformational coach and meditation teacher Cathy Heller shares her wisdom in her new book on living with meaning and abundance.
The film traces how Hier met Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and asked for permission to establish a center in his name in Los Angeles.
Children from pre-K through fifth grade are picked up from school and brought to participating synagogues, where they receive help with homework, learn Hebrew, study Jewish holidays, have snack time and build friendships with other Jewish students.
After years of facing constant, close-range danger, there is now at least a sense that a more durable solution is being pursued, one that may finally offer residents near the border the security they have long lacked.
