DecemberNews 2024 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
As the year winds down, December has been an extraordinary month brimming with milestones, gratitude, and celebration. From hosting my travel TV special about Ireland to filming in NYC as a travel expert for Welch’s Fruit Snacks, and winning an NAEJ award for my podcast, this month reflects the incredible opportunities and unwavering support I’ve been fortunate to receive.
BIG, BIG NEWS: My first print story in the Los Angeles Times has been published! This milestone is a dream come true, and I’m beyond thrilled to share my work in such an iconic publication.
I’m also excited to share fresh content, including a holiday gift guide and new videos on my YouTube channel, now surpassing 2.25 million views! Highlights include my adventures in Philadelphia, New York, Miami, a California Coastal Cruise aboard Ruby Princess, and Puerto Vallarta. Plus, don’t miss my latest podcast episode, filmed at the breathtaking Giant’s Causeway in Ireland.
And as we wrap up the year, I’ve created a special 2024 roundup featuring all my interviews, articles, and trips from this incredible year. Click here to explore everything from 2024!
As the lights of Chanukah illuminate our homes and hearts, I am holding onto hope for the safe return of the 100 hostages still waiting to be reunited with their families. May this season of light bring peace, unity, and brighter days ahead for everyone.
As I reflect on the successes of this year, I’m filled with gratitude for my community and can’t wait to celebrate these moments with all of you. Save the date: February 13—I’ll be speaking at the 103-year-old Adventurers’ Club! Stay tuned for more—and thank you for being part of this unforgettable journey.

The lesson of Mamdani’s victory is not just that dangerous ideologies can win elections — but that they can win them with Jewish help. That makes them even more dangerous.
Jew-hatred is terrible regardless of where it comes from. But not all Jew-hatred is created equal. Depending on where you sit politically, some Jews can be more hated than others.
The more noise we make about Jew-hatred, the more Jew-hatred seems to increase. Is all that noise spreading the very poison it is fighting? Is it time to introduce a radically new idea that will associate Jews not with hate but with love?
The film, built on a witty and well-paced script by Robbins and co-writer Zack Weiner, invites us to what is well set to be a disastrous Shabbat dinner.
Currently, there are an estimated 600-800 Jews living in Cuba, most of whom are based in Havana, though there are small Jewish communities in Cuban cities Santa Clara and Cienfuegos.
On June 12, Eve Karlin made Aliyah to Israel with the assistance of Nefesh B’Nefesh. Twelve hours later, at 3:30 a.m., she woke up to the sounds of loud sirens.
Pairing the tender fish brochettes with the vibrant herb sauce and crispy potatoes reminded us of eating by the sea with the scent of saltwater in the air.
