JulyNews 2024 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
I am GRATEFUL to YOU
Thank you for coming to my events, watching my videos, being excited for me winning awards and of course buying, reading and reviewing my memoir, BRAVE-ish! This summer I have had so much fun with friends at salsa dancing, bowling, and an escape room in Los Angeles and Broadways shows, family celebrations and virtual golf in New York City. Next time you are in NYC, go see my nephew, Zach Niver, perform at a comedy club!
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go to the Hollywood Bowl, we absolutely loved seeing Barbie The Movie: In Concert featuring the Barbie Land™ Sinfonietta, an all-women and mostly women of color orchestra dressed in pink jumpsuits!
THANK YOU to Rachael at Barnes & Noble at The Grove, BJ Korros from The Hollywood Moment and every single person who joined us at the book reading and signing as well as all of our giveaway sponsors. I had SO MUCH fun!

In the spirit of July 4th, I am praying for peace ☮️ love ❤️ and freedom for all. 💔🇮🇱💙I continue to hope for all the hostages to be returned to Israel. Wishing luck, safety and shalom to the Israeli athletes starting their journey in Paris! Did you know I was part of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles?
Blending humor with hard truths, Horwitz leans into the outlandishness of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories — at one point performing as a shapeshifting lizard from outer space.
Friedman has a method: let people speak freely — and the more they talk, the clearer it becomes how little some of them actually understand about the topics they’re protesting.
“American values” was once shorthand for the animating ideals of liberal democracy. Now it’s become politicized. As we celebrate July 4th, Jews must lead the way in reclaiming an idea that is meant to unite us, not divide us.

To those raising fists in solidarity with the “Free Palestine” movement in the Western world and chanting “resistance by any means necessary,” we ask: Does your “resistance support” include the execution of queer people?
If America is “irredeemably racist,” then so are the Jews. If America is in trouble, then so are the Jews. If more and more people are becoming anti-American, you can be sure they’re also becoming anti-Jewish.
This July Fourth, members of the Jewish faith can take particular pride in one of their rabbis likely inspiring America’s most beloved president’s famous phrase.
