Thank you to everyone who has come to my events and bought my book and I am so excited for this next chapter with more TRAVEL TV!
I loved sailing on the brand new Icon of the Seas. I worked for Royal Caribbean on Rhapsody of the Seas as Youth Staff decades ago and I loved it. Thank you The Jet Set TV, Nikki Noya & Bobby Laurie for allowing me to share about Royal Caribbean International’s brand new ship, ICON OF THE SEAS on your travel TV show.

In your travels, may you find not just places, but pieces of yourself waiting to be discovered.
Do you love audiobooks? My memoir, Brave-ish, is available! AND!!! I am the narrator! Did you know that authors have to audition to narrate their books?!!?
Every Shabbat since Oct 7, I have posted on social media about the hostages. I hope that before Passover, they will finally be returned to Israel. Bring Them Home.
At a time of divisiveness, worry and uncertainty in our community, what is a key message you’re planning to share with your congregation over these High Holy Days?
Nature also shows us this way of being and invites us to join her. The river flows. The mountain crumbles when it must. The flower lets its petals fall without fear. A glacier drifts without a map, yet exactly where it belongs.
We’re still living the trauma of that October morning — today — 700 days later. The pain, trauma and fear are still with us. They’re in the cells of our bodies. We remain tense and hypervigilant, scanning the environment for another sign of attack. Even here in America 7,600 miles away.
We need to rediscover the excitement and amazement of life by going back to the beginning, which is what Rosh Hashanah, on one very deep level, is about.
Today, the initiative has grown to more 500+ clubs for over 20,000 members, helping Jewish students connect with their heritage in a time when it isn’t easy to be a Jew.
Last week, Hebrew Union College’s rabbinical school Virtual Pathway students gathered for our first week of school, a four-day intensive on our historic Cincinnati campus.
When I think about any Jewish holiday, all I can think about is cooking – and cooking – and serving and clearing and cooking some more. I’ve been doing this for nearly 40 years.
The bill does represent progress, but the determination of the opposition is a sobering reminder of the challenges that the Jewish community still faces to make necessary improvements.
