In February, do you think about WHAT DO YOU LOVE? I love Travel and I love speaking about TRAVEL! This month I spoke in Los Angeles at the Travel and Adventure Show–the 3rd of 4 cities where I am a speaker for America’s Favorite Travel shows!
Did you see me on TV with Bob DeCastro from GOOD DAY LA? Watch it here:
When I spoke in Chicago, I explored with CityPass and went to amazing attractions including Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, SkyDeck on the 103rd floor of Willis Tower and The Ledge, The Bean, Art Institute of Chicago, 360CHICAGO and Cloud Bar on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Building. I had dinner at Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk. SEE VIDEOS from my adventures below:
When I spoke in NYC, I climbed a skyscraper! It was AWESOME!! I highly recommend CityClimb!
While I was in NYC, I also went to IMM North America which is TravMedia’s Leading Media Networking Event. I had so many exceptional meetings I had to make TWO VIDEOS: Part 1 and Part 2
I loved the PLACES TO LOVE Season 6 party in NYC with Samantha Brown! Places to Love is about seeking the little-known spots and haunts where innovators and disruptors create a brand new travel experience. In the sixth season, Samantha explores the incredible Belfast and Antrim Coast, the breathtaking Inside Passage of Alaska, chilly Madison, Wisconsin, and much more…
Have you explored Go City? At my talk in Los Angeles, I gave away two GoCity Explorer Passes. I cannot wait to use mine!
Is it your DREAM to travel by private jet? What a party with Planet Nine!

The entire toy industry in America was largely Jewish, from the company founders and executives to the designers and factory workers, from the wholesale distributors and the army of salesmen, to the retail outlets and the large department stores that sold them.
The Museum of the City of New York welcomed “The Roastmaster General” along with Katz’s Deli owner Jake Dell for a meaty talk on the Jewish deli’s legacy.
Alongside cultural outreach, the Ministry is also focusing on investors and infrastructure. Itzhakov said Israel is actively encouraging tourism-related investment through targeted meetings and investor conferences.
NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon talks about her new book, “The Jews and The Left,” her rift with Megyn Kelly and why antisemitism has spread like wildfire in America.
The expanded campus will include multiple pavilions where visitors can explore the full arc of Holocaust history: the world that existed before, the horrors that unfolded during and the lasting consequences that continue to shape the present.
Historically, Jews have been accused of controlling politics, the banks and the media. I haven’t read yet that they control the weather, but that wouldn’t be any more bizarre than the other charges.
Once a society begins treating Jewish fear and/or pain as inherently dishonest, Jewish trauma as inherently political, or Jewish victimhood as uniquely undeserving of empathy, it creates a moral exception around Jews.
When we fall short — as individuals, as a people, whether everyday Jews or the Prime Minister himself — we must have the courage to face it honestly, call it what it is, and do better.
The problem is not Jewish joy itself. The problem is the growing belief that Jewish joy can replace the difficult work of protecting the conditions that make Jewish flourishing possible in the first place.
While disappointment over not being in Israel was real, the experience quickly evolved into something deeper: an exploration of what it means to be a Jew in America.
Nothing about the Jewish story—with its revolutionary insistence that there is one God, its history of relentless suffering, its triumphant return to the land it was expelled from millennia ago—is normal, and we shouldn’t try claiming it is.
Tomer Persico’s “In God’s Image: How Western Civilization Was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea” is a tour de force — with a twist. Tracing the history of the concept, he suggests the Deity perhaps planted the seeds for His own modern demise.
