Nov News 2021 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Chanukah! I hope you are able to safely celebrate with family and friends. I wish you warmth, light, support and that all your dreams come true!
Last month, I shared how I won an award for technology reporting and had my first story in WIRED! This month, I was back in Vegas at the DEMA scuba show and started working on a social media challenge: 5 videos a day for 30 days! Click here to see my first tik tok dance and here to see my dad and his brother carving the turkey.
I have more than 60 videos so far on Tiktok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and YouTube Short Video! Please comment, like and share on your favorite platform! I appreciate all of your support. After the first 12 days, I had over 50,000 new views! I am going for 100k and then 1 million.
I have three articles from when I was in Vegas in Sept 2021 for IPW Travel Conference. You can read about my stay at the Venetian, the BrandUSA conference and all my fun from climbing walls, driving bulldozers and landing in the Grand Canyon by helicopter–17 videos of all my adventures in the playlist above:
Here is the link to my video channel on YouTube where I have over 1.4 million views on YouTube! (Exact count: 1,403,961 views)

“It’s time to treat yourself to something special.” Did you buy yourself a holiday gift? Wait until you see what I got for my CAR!! I will share on social as soon as it arrives!!

Being at PENN for Homecoming 2021 was PERFECT and full of LOVE! Lisa (1989), Heather (1991), Carl (1987)
In this New Year, we will find ourselves called upon to carry forward the responsibilities of leadership, the obligations of community building, the requirements of advancing Jewish civic interests.
You think the lives of Palestinians are going to be better than today within a Palestinian state? Look at Gaza, look at Syria, look at Yemen and think again.
Most Jews don’t understand what is taking shape in Christian America. They fear it, conflate its diverse voices and want to denounce it with great moral force, as if that will somehow make it all go away.
Much like in other parts of the world, most of those who criticize Israel in Latin America have little or no grasp of the realities on the ground, yet they readily join the chorus of demonization.
The High Holy Days represent an opportunity to challenge the prevailing narrative and educate our congregants, to restore faith in the Jewish people and Israel.
Founded by Lihie Gilhar in November 2023, Bring Them Light seeks to preserve not just the memory of those we lost, but their faces, their names and their life stories.
Investing in Israel offers not only the potential to generate wealth but also to redefine what we mean by philanthropy—all while supporting the Jewish people.
A political entity that lacks unified governance, defined and controlled territory and a commitment to peace remains something other than a state. To pretend otherwise is not compassion. It is dangerous negligence.
Guilt, despite its bad name, is actually good for me. Like regret and remorse and shame over my wrongdoings, guilt can be instructive and downright motivational.
Despite a year full of distance, imperfections, disappointment, perhaps even betrayal of our very nature, on Yom Kippur we are all doves, possessing the ability to, in the end, return home.
One reason my wife and I never learned Yiddish was that our families didn’t want us to. Yiddish was only spoken when they tried to hide things from us.
Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer and the other Western leaders who made this proposal know that calling for a Palestinian state has as much likelihood of success as proposing a U.N. mission to Jupiter.
Mentioning the good stuff is a reminder that we have it in us, that we’re capable of the final step in the process of repentance—committing to not repeating the same mistakes.
