This is a recording of my talk at Stephen Wise Temple about my memoir, Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After Fifty, for Shabbat.
I wanted to share it as my book is now out for nearly a year. It has been such an incredible time of events, interviews and awards.
FROM STEPHEN WISE TEMPLE
Travel writer, author, podcaster, and Stephen Wise Temple Board member Lisa Niver, who just released her memoir, Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty, shared about her steps to Begin Again on Sept 29, 2023 for Shabbat and Sukkot. Lisa's memoir debuted as the top solo travel title on Amazon.com when it was released on Sept. 19. Her podcast, Make Your Own Map, launched this summer and has been watched on six continents. It was a finalist for two Southern California Journalism Awards in 2023. Elected this summer as a Congregational Director, Lisa is a graduate of Wise’s religious school program. Wise’s founder, Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin, officiated her bat mitzvah. She began her “nomadic” lifestyle by spending a summer in Israel on LA Ulpan, and went on to study abroad in Jerusalem at Hebrew University. She returned to Israel with her family for Rabbi Zeldin’s 80th birthday celebration. As a journalist, Lisa often shares articles about Wise clergy and services, most often through her column in the Jewish Journal. Lisa has taught religious school at Wise and science at Brawerman Elementary, and has spoken at Wise about the Jews of Morocco. Through the Jewish Federation, Lisa was part of the Rautenberg New Leaders Project and a mentor for the Julie Beren Platt Teen Innovation Grants Program.
