The world has gone a bit crazy since October 7th, 2023. Scratch that. It's gone completely nuts.For those, like me, who need a bit of help staying sane these days, Mark Regev is a voice of rationality and reason who is guaranteed to frame Israel and the geopolitics that swirl around it in a way that makes sense and sanity.An ambassador by nature, Mark is what I would consider the diplomatic counterpart to Ruthie Blum's undiplomatic leanings on their edgy JNS show, Israel Undiplomatic.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and @JNS_TV 's Mark Regev discuss Israel from October 6th, the day before the atrocities, to today from an incisive, insider's point of view. Today, we delve into The World According To Mark. Rewind to my previous episode, to hear Ruthie's side of the story, The World According to Ruthie (https://youtube.com/live/sBtT9UQDu08 ). If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand the complexities of the war in the Middle East, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation and become informed of the nuances and complexities of Israel and its very existence.WHERE TO FIND MARK REGEV:LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-regev/X: https://x.com/MarkRegevISRAEL UNDIPLOMATIC WITH MARK REGEV: https://www.jns.org/topic/israel-undiplomatic/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nghyOtmyv3k&list=PLsksduy16U5KHYB3sN-5TrP48ggM6NS92Ambassador Mark Regev is a former senior diplomat with more than thirty years of experience in foreign policy, including serving as Israel’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

October 7th, 2023 was a day that changed the world. Whether you are acutely aware or not aware at all, it did.Ruthie Blum is acutely aware.A veteran journalist with more than 35 years of experience and a former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ruthie is educated, informed, and highly opinionated about the State of Israel before, during, and after 10/7. A sabra by nature, Ruthie is what I would consider the undiplomatic counterpart to Mark Regev's diplomatic leanings on their edgy JNS show, Israel Undiplomatic.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and @JNS_TV 's Ruthie Blum discuss Israel from October 6th, the day before the atrocities, to today from an incisive, insider's point of view.

When you hear the name "United Nations," what words come to mind?Human rights? International law? World Peace? Dignity? Equality?If those are the words that are coming up for you, you're not paying attention.Today's UN has been captured by Islamists, dictators and communists and the more appropriate terms to describe them would be: farce of justice, fundamentally corrupt, morally bankrupt, biased, hypocritical, anti-Western, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and antisemitic.Throw UNRWA into the mix--the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees--and you find an organization that was created to fulfill a legally illegitimate mandate of eternally perpetuating (instead of resolving) the manufactured Palestinian "refugee crisis" and has been all but completely hijacked by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and NGO Monitor's Anne Herzberg discuss the endemically corrupt UNRWA and its profound infiltration by Islamist terrorists.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks the United Nations is a beacon of righteousness and justice, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about this once venerable institution has fallen into the hands of very bad actors.WHERE TO FIND ANNE HERZBERG:WEBSITE: https://ngo-monitor.org/expert/anne/X; https://x.com/AnneHerzberg14WHERE TO FIND NGO MONITOR:WEBSITE: https://www.ngo-monitor.orgYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@NgoMonitor INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ngomonitor/X: https://x.com/ngomonitorFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/NgoMonitor/Anne Herzberg is the Legal Advisor of @NgoMonitor⁩ and a widely recognized author and commentator.

Brutal savagery is a feature, not a glitch, of Hamas terror.So, when the diabolical atrocities of October 7th were live-streamed across the internet by Hamas themselves, the world watched on in abject horror and was shocked to the core. But not surprised.What did surprise and deeply disturb most people beyond the Woke-o-Sphere was how the social justice warriors decided to rally behind Hamas after the massacre, rather than behind the innocent Israeli victims who had just suffered the more horrific one-day murder of Jews since the Holocaust. And as if glorifying terrorists as freedom fighters wasn't enough, the River To The Sea contingency took it one step further, drowning the West in a tsunami of genocidal antisemitism, calling for a global intifada revolution and attacking Jews in our streets, our subways, our schools, and our synagogues.How did this happen? Has society learned nothing from the lessons of the Holocaust?In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Dr. Orli Peter of the Israel Healing Initiative discuss the psychology of propaganda and how empathy is not immune to manipulation. Powerful forces can hijack it into violent hatred, using methods grounded in science. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Hamas are the good guys in their war on Israel, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how your own kind inclinations can be turned against you and twisted into something truly hateful.WHERE TO FIND DR. ORLI PETER:WEBSITE: https://www.israelhealinginitiative.org/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/orlipeter/X: https://x.com/orlipeterFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/orlipeterYOUTUBE: @IsraelHealingInitiative @OrliPeter Orli Peter, Ph.D. is a clinical and neuropsychologist who has served as a professor of psychology and a consultant on terrorism research at the RAND Corporation. She specializes in the intersection of trauma, neuroscience, and propaganda, with decades of experience treating survivors of war, terror, and mass violence. After the October 7 attacks, she launched the Israel Healing Initiative, bringing neuroscience-based trauma treatment — including advanced neurostimulation — to survivors in Israel. Her current work explores how extremist propaganda hijacks the same brain mechanisms used in trauma therapy — particularly emotional arousal and memory reconsolidation — not to heal, but to implant narratives that inflame and destabilize. These campaigns retraumatize survivors and train entire populations to react with outrage — outrage that serves the propagandists’ aims.🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 If you're looking for quick encyclopedic knowledge on a topic--any topic--chances are you go to Wikipedia as your first source of information. It's okay. You're not alone! The vast majority of students and the general public are with you on that. No one uses the old-fashioned printed volumes of Encyclopedia Brittanica anymore, like we did before the internet. It's too bad.The benefit of encyclopedias was that they provided objective, unbiased explanations of just about everything under the sun. They were written and curated by bona fide scholars and, well, they were based in facts. What people don't seem to realize when they use Wikipedia as their reference point is that it is a crowd-sourced medium, written and edited by everyday people, and replete with subjective biases and even untruths.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Aaron Bandler of the Jewish News Syndicate discuss the rampant anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and downright antisemitic bias that dominates Wikipedia's platform. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Wikipedia is the purveyor of objective truth, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how public discourse and conventional wisdom are manipulated by this information distortion to delegitimize and demonize the Jewish People and the Jewish State.WHERE TO FIND AARON BANDLER:JNS: https://jns.org/writers/aaron-bandlerX: https://x.com/bandlersbanterFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/bandlersbanterINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bandlersbanterLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-bandler-3924277aAaron Bandler is an award-winning national reporter at JNS based in Los Angeles.

🙏 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE NIV NIREL CENTER: https://pefisrael.org/charity/niv-nirel-center🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0On October 7, 2023, as a massacre was unfolding in Southern Israel, Tami Raviv was in Netanya, frantically texting her daughter, Niv, who was hiding with her boyfriend, Nirel, in their safe room in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. At first, the news was good. Niv and Nirel were okay and waiting for the IDF to come and save them. But as the hours passed and there was no help in sight, Tami's efforts to connect with Niv became dire. Tami had no idea this conversation with her precious daughter would be her last. It was an entire week before Niv and Nirel's fates were confirmed. This beautiful, young couple who were set to be engaged just days later, breathed their last breaths together before Hamas terrorists brutally murdered them.Imagine being Niv's mother. Imagine praying that your child was taken brutal hostage, as at least she would be alive. Can you imagine?It is impossible to fathom what Tami has had to experience and endure on October 7th and every day since. Even harder to fathom is her superhuman resilience that inspired her to transform this tragedy into a miracle.With nothing but a vision and sheer determination, Tami decided to create the Niv Nirel Center to treat IDF soldiers with combat-related trauma, free of cost and free of stigma. To date, the Niv Nirel Center has treated 250 patients and expects to reach 1000 by 2028. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica sits down with Tami Raviv & Doron Krakow of the Niv Nirel Center to discuss Tami's experiences as a mother and a healer and how she and Doron have teamed up to save the lives of IDF soldiers beyond the front. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that a war ends with a ceasefire, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about inner strength, sheer resilience, overcoming trauma, and healing the world.NIV NIREL CENTER: https://www.nivnirelcenter.org/enNIV NIREL ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/nivnirelcenterTami Raviv iand her husband, Yoel, are the proud parents of 3 children. Their daughter, Niv was brutally murdered together with her long-time boyfriend, Nirel, on the morning of October 7 on Kibbutz Kfar Aza - at the age of 27. In the period since, she somehow managed to channel her grief and despair into the creation of a desperately needed trauma center - named in memory of Niv and Nirel - to help Israel contend with the sudden and overwhelming growth in the number of people suffering from combat-related trauma disorders and PTSD.Doron Krakow's career has been spent in leadership roles in the Jewish world. He led the Young Judaea Youth Movement, served as Senior Vice President - Israel & Overseas for JFNA, headed American Associates, Ben-Gurion University and, more recently, until the spring of 2024 he was CEO of JCC Association of North America. In June of 2024, he and his wife, Janet, made Aliyah and now live in Tel Aviv. He is a very proud member of the Board of the Niv Nirel Center.🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

Bernstein, author of Woke Antisemitism and Founder of NAVI, the North American Values Institute. In our first conversation, we discussed David's concept of Woke Antisemitism, the dangerous, rabid, and often confounding Jew Hatred that emerged from decades of Far Left intersectional ideology.Our second discussion, exactly one year ago, focused on the question of whether today's antisemitism--which accelerated to warp speeds after the October 7th massacre in Israel--was merely a temporary upshot reaction to the Gaza War or, if, perhaps it was a much larger phenomenon that had taken on a life of its own.Today, three months into a tenuous ceasefire, we look at the past 27 months since the war began, the state of antisemitism today, and where we can expect it to go in the years to come. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and David Bernstein discuss how Jew Hatred has evolved from the Woke Left to the Woke Right and what we might expect to see in 2026 and beyond.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that sympathy for Gaza is an excuse for Jew Hatred, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the plague of antisemitism and how it has negatively affected everyone across the globe, Jewish or otherwise.GET DAVID'S BOOK, "WOKE ANTISEMITISM" ON AMAZON: https://amzn.to/4gpdSPRWHERE TO FIND DAVID L.

🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 On October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, committing and live streaming the most reprehensible atrocities you could possibly imagine. As if straight out of a snuff film, Israeli peace activists, music festival goers, and kibbutzniks of every age were subjected to utterly demonic horrors...and the NGO world was silent.Almost no NGOs condemned the murders or the rapes or the abductions or the torture. Did you ever stop to ask why?Did you ever stop to ask why the world's most prominent humanitarian organizations had nothing to say about Hamas's savagery but filed exhaustive reports against Israel? Israel, who retaliated in a defensive and existential war that they did not start? Israel, who was the victim of the most barbaric terror attack seen in the West in decades?Well, it wasn't an oversight, but part of an intricate and deeply disturbing strategy to undermine and delegitimize the Jewish State under the auspices of international aid and influence.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor discuss how Hamas infiltrated many of the most prominent international NGOs and used them as weapons in their propaganda war against Israel. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that every NGO is pure in its good intentions, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the deeply disturbing crossover between Islamist terrorist groups and your favorite charities.READ THE FULL "PUPPET REGIME" REPORT: https://ngo-monitor.org/pdf/NGOM_Guarantors2025.pdfWHERE TO FIND GERALD STEINBERG:WEBSITE: https://www.ngo-monitor.orgX: https://twitter.com/GeraldNGOMLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerald-m-steinberg-5b4940130/ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2356-6210YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@NgoMonitorGerald Steinberg is founder and president of the NGO Monitor research institute, and professor emeritus of international relations at Bar Ilan University.

🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 Ever since October 7th, 2023, a remarkable and remarkably disappointing phenomenon took over the global yoga community. Not just sympathy for Gaza, but blatant support for terrorists and violence, unbridled and unapologetic Jew Hatred, and a tremendous ignorance of and unwillingness to look at facts and Truth when it comes to the State of Israel and its existential war on terror. Both Jörgen Christiansson and I have been global leaders in the yoga community for decades. Both of us come from very different backgrounds. Both of us have very different experiences with Israel and the Jewish people. Both of us stand staunchly with Israel. Both of us stand firmly against antisemitism. And we do it in the name of yoga. I was born into this cause. Jörgen had a unique awakening. And we came to the same conclusion.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Jörgen Christiansson discuss the disturbing trends in the yoga community and what "love and light" really means vis-a-vis the war in Gaza.

Despite what a mealy mouthed Mamdani may try to publicly claim, Intifada is the Palestinian movement of violently murdering Israelis and Jews wherever they can find them. It is an open call for terrorism based in a centuries' old hatred of Jews and the West.Personal criticism of Israel's War on Terror is legitimate in nature. Calling for the murder of any people on earth--yes, Jews included--is not. How is it that the so-called Progressive Left has been so consumed with antisemitic hatred and violence when they pride themselves on being the guardians of morality and decency? In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Uri Kaufman discuss his book "American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War and the New Antisemitism," where he examines this very question and provides some very provocative and often disturbing answers.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks the words "globalize the intifada" are a call for peace or justice, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about the dangerous Progressive agenda to destroy the Jewish State and delegitimize the Jewish people.GET URI KAUFMAN'S BOOK, "AMERICAN INTIFADA: ISRAEL, THE GAZA WAR AND THE NEW ANTISEMITISM": https://amzn.to/4hZ1gAdGET URI KAUFMAN'S BOOK, "EIGHTEEN DAYS IN OCTOBER: THE YOM KIPPUR WAR AND HOW IT CREATED THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST": https://amzn.to/47KA8l2In addition to American Intifada: Israel, the Gaza War and the New Antisemitism (Republic, 2025), Uri Kaufman is the author of Eighteen Days in October: The Yom Kippur War and How it Created the Modern Middle East (St. Martin’s, 2023), selected by The Financial Times in 2023 as one of the year’s best history books.

Each and every one honoring an Israeli hero, an inspiration, and a universe.It's easy to walk by these tiny tributes without notice, or to look for a minute and go on with your day. But Jeff Weiss did just the opposite. He started reading the stickers and he wanted more.He wanted to learn the story of each person's life and to share it with the world. To create a precious online memorial that will bear testament even after the stickers fade.Jeff created Stickers of Meaning as a gift to Am Yisrael.

And if you believe that, you are ignorant at best, and an antisemite at worst.This ridiculous accusation is nothing more than a modern permutation of the centuries-old “Jews control the world” blood libel. Need proof? Look at the morally reprehensible response of the entertainment industry to the vicious and barbaric October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks. In any other world, such animalistic savagery would be denounced in the strongest of terms. In the entertainment world, it is celebrated.Very few entertainers have had the moral clarity and fortitude to stand up against this terror. To stand up for the Jews. John Ondrasik is one of the few. A virtuous voice singing above the cacophony. Fearlessly fighting the evil that has consumed the intoxicated industry around him. In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and John Ondrasik discuss antisemitism in entertainment, tribalism, and the role of pop culture in shaping public opinion.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks a red hand pin is a call for justice, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about moral clarity and cowardice in a world that's gone wild with wokeness and has lost its own voice in the process.WHERE TO FIND JOHN ONDRASIK:WEBSITE: https://fiveforfighting.comSPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7FgMLbnZVrEnir95O0YujAAPPLE MUSIC: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/five-for-fighting/id468280X: https://twitter.com/johnondrasikINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/fiveforfightingmusicFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/fiveforfightingJohn Ondrasik, the creative force behind the Grammy-nominated band Five for Fighting, has captivated audiences for over two decades with his poignant songwriting and unique falsetto voice.

🎥 YOGA OF WAR ON YOUTUBE: https://tinyurl.com/2w7hbndcPeople love dead Jews.Dead Jews may have been murdered or massacred or burnt alive or gassed or...the list goes on. But we all know that dead Jews deserve our sympathy. For hours! Or even days! But, really, that's about the limit.Ultimately, the problem with dead Jews is that in this day and age, Jews are not allowed to be victims. They can only be aggressors. Jews are not allowed to be the oppressed, only the oppressors. Even when, in actuality, the Jewish People are, by far, the most oppressed and victimized group in history.But that doesn't fit the narrative. That is so uncomfortable. Because the thing that makes the Jews different is that they don't wallow in their victimhood. They transcend it and climb to incredible heights, shattering the pervasive oppressor-oppressed paradigm that is so du jour these days.There's one easy way to fix that, especially in the Information Age: rewrite history. Rewrite and revise until the victim becomes the aggressor, the oppressed becomes the oppressor. Then all will be right in the world.Or will it?In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and return guest, Thane Rosenbaum, discuss the phenomenon and dangers of revisionist history even as it is being rewritten before our very eyes.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Israel started the war in Gaza, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about lies, propaganda, and how whitewashing history can also brainwash your mind.GET THANE'S BOOK, "BEYOND PROPORTIONALITY: ISRAEL'S JUST WAR IN GAZA": https://amzn.to/459tvWVWHERE TO FIND THANE ROSENBAUM:WEBSITE: https://thanerosenbaum.comFORUM ON LIFE, CULTURE & SOCIETY: https://folcs.orgFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/thane.rosenbaumX: https://twitter.com/thanerosenbaumINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thane.rosenbaum/JEWISH JOURNAL: https://jewishjournal.com/author/thanerosenbaum/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@thanerosenbaum592Thane Rosenbaum is a law professor, legal and Middle East analyst, novelist, essayist, and Distinguished University Professor at Touro University, where he directs the Forum on Life, Culture & Society.

Truly an awakening. A repudiation of the Woke. A return to God.Sometimes names are Divine, and they define not just a person, but a purpose. Tinashe means God is With Us.

And Eitan Halley was there.Miraculously escaping Nova, Eitan found himself hiding in a tiny roadside bomb shelter along with dozens of other partygoers, including Hersh Goldberg Polin and Aner Shapira.Hamas terrorists ambushed the shelter, and Aner heroically threw back multiple live grenades before tragically losing his life. Hersh's arm was blown off in the attack and he was brutally abducted to Gaza and eventually murdered. And Eitan took decisive action, throwing back multiple live grenades himself before being wounded and knocked unconscious.Lying in a pile of murdered bodies, Eitan miraculously survived. He displayed extraordinary courage, stepping into danger to protect others during one of Israel’s darkest days.

It's 9/11.Twenty-four years ago today, Al-Qaeda exploded the Twin Towers in the worst terrorist attack to ever occur on US soil. The world was stunned and would never be the same.Islamic terror became a prominent global threat but something remarkable happened. It was a slow creep, in response to a very carefully crafted propaganda campaign, but the West started rallying in the terrorists’ defense.Decades later, as the world witnessed the savage, bestial Hamas atrocities perpetrated against Israel on October 7, 2023, it cheered. One month later, TikTok was flooded with celebrations of Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” manifesto. The brainwashing was now complete, and legions of the lost have been marching to their own demise ever since.As a young woman, Dalia Ziada would likely have been at the front of that pack, calling for death to the Jews & to Israel. But something remarkable happened. She woke up to the mortifying reality of the terror and hatred she was indoctrinated to believe,Today, Dalia is a fierce supporter of Israel’s justified war on terror. To many, her views are controversial. Welcome to a world that can no longer distinguish good from evil. It can be a truly frightening place, but it’s people like Dalia who restore faith in mankind & the kindness of man.In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Dalia Ziada discuss the vast & dangerous global infrastructure of Islamic terror and why Israel is actually in the center of it all. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Israel is a terrorist state, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about what Islamic terrorism actually is, its vast & very successful campaign to influence the West, and why everyone who cares about humanity should fiercely defend the Jewish State.GET DALIA'S BOOK, "THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE THREE-LEGGED WOLF": https://amzn.to/4mm643fWHERE TO FIND DALIA ZIADA:WEBSITE: https://www.daliaziada.orgX: https://www.twitter.com/daliaziadaINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/daliaziadaLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daliaziadaFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/daliaziadaYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DaliaZiada7/ Dalia Ziada is an award-winning Egyptian writer and political analyst known for her fearless voice on Middle East geopolitics and security.

There is no Palestinian State. World leaders can say anything they want, but the fact is: you cannot have a state without borders or a government. And the other fact is, the Palestinians have neither. And for good reason.The Arabs were actually offered a state by the UN in 1947 and 1948 but they rejected the partition plan outright because they refused to recognize a Jewish State. Later, this refusal would be codified in the Khartoum Declaration of 1967: No recognition of Israel. No peace with Israel. And no negotiations with Israel. AKA, The Jewish State.And so the stage was set.We can rewind centuries or even millennia to trace the roots of this belligerence and the violence that accompanied it, but instead, let’s fast forward to 1993, the first of the Oslo Accords when it finally seemed like peace may just become a possibility.Spoiler alert: it didn’t. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Danny Seaman discuss the complexities of the Middle East Conflict from Oslo to today, and what recognition of a Palestinian State really means for the future of the region. If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Palestinian Statehood is merely a matter of self-determination, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about why the Arabs never got a Palestinian State and what the so-called "peace process" has really entailed.WHERE TO FIND DANIEL SEAMAN:YOUTUBE: https://tinyurl.com/34sruejkJNS: https://www.jns.org/writers/daniel-seaman/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/danielseaman2.0/📕 GET DANIEL'S BOOK, ISRAEL AND THE FOREIGN MEDIA: https://tinyurl.com/5fspv5da 📕 Danny Seaman is a Jerusalem-based political commentator, media analyst, and advisor to the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF).

There is so much media attention on the war in Gaza and almost no context or reminders of how this war on Hamas started.It was October 7, 2023, when the terrorists and civilians of Gaza flooded Israel and committed the most unmentionable, unfathomable, and inhuman atrocities to occur in the Western World since the Holocaust.Out of that day came the most devastating of tragedies...but also the most powerful, incredible, selfless, and inspiring heroes.Today, IDF Sergeant Major @chaimalespin returns to the Yoga of War Podcast to share some of the stories of these extraordinary Israelis who stepped up and went far beyond the call of duty to save lives and protect a nation.

But have you heard of Pallywood?You should. Because I 100% guarantee you have seen it—often in the past 22 months in particular—and probably don’t even know it.Pallywood is a term coined by historian Richard Landes to describe the deliberate staging, fabrication, or manipulation of media—primarily visual, but also verbal—by Palestinian sources to falsely depict Israel as an aggressor and gain international sympathy.And, boy, it is effective. Most people unquestioningly believe what they see with their own two eyes. Seems pretty rational. But I promise you: today’s discussion and presentation are guaranteed to open your eyes to a whole new reality.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica, Richard Landes, and Mr. Gazawood discuss the history and impact of Pallywood propaganda and how even you have likely been deceived by it.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks the people of Gaza are the hapless and eternal victims of Israeli attacks and repression, you owe it to yourself to tune in to this conversation and presentation of how the Gazan images and ideas that have been so burned into your mind (spoiler alert: many of them aren't even from Gaza!) were produced specifically to brainwash you into believing terrorist lies.GET RICHARD'S BOOK, "CAN THE WHOLE WORLD BE WRONG?": https://amzn.to/41v4PXyGET RICHARD'S BOOK, "SALEM ON THE THAMES": https://amzn.to/3UPDI5PWHERE TO FIND RICHARD LANDES AND MR.

On July 15, rampaging Bedouins and Syrian forces invaded the Syrian Druze village of Suweida and massacred up to 2000 people, torturing, raping and kidnapping hundreds more in a viscous and barbaric terrorist raid disturbingly reminiscent of October 7th.With fewer than a million Druze in the entire world—most of them concentrated in Syria, Israel, Lebanon and Jordan—this was a devastating tragedy of unimaginable proportions.A unique characteristic of the Druze people is their fierce loyalty to and respect for whatever society they live in. In Israel, they are honored as perhaps the single most loyal minority, with 80% serving in the IDF and defend their nation.And..the Druze also have an unparalleled unity among themselves. The Druze in Israel don’t just consider those in Syria to be family. They consider them to be brothers and sisters.Over a thousand Israeli Druze stormed Syria that day to defend their brethren and the IDF was the only military on earth to step up and help. You see the Druze and the Jews do more than just rhyme. When it comes to the war on terror, they stand as one, unbreakable pillar.I am honored today to be joined, live in Haifa, with Israeli Druze leader, Ayoob Kara, to help us understand the tiny Druze nation and how we can all step up to defend them.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Ayoob Kara discuss the Syrian Druze massacre and crisis, and what Israel is doing to help. If you are a yogi or yogini who believes that Israel is an aggressor for going into Syria, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the Druze religion, the oppression they endure, and their unique relationship to the State of Israel.Ayoob Kara is a Druze-Israeli politician and former Likud Knesset member known for his strong Zionist stance and regional diplomacy. Born in 1955 in Daliyat al-Karmel, he served as a reserve Major in the IDF and holds degrees in law and public policy. Kara served four Knesset terms and held key roles including Minister of Communications and Deputy Minister for Development of the Negev and Galilee.A loyal supporter of Israel, Kara promoted ties with Arab neighbors and led humanitarian initiatives with Syria and Lebanon.

If you’re anything like me, there is a good chance you wake up every morning these days, wary of what the new day will bring and go to sleep each night wondering what the hell just happened.It’s been 22 months of Orwellian insanity and, to be honest, sometimes I just think I am losing my mind. October 7, 2023 was the day that common decency went out the window and basic morality decided to take a paid leave of absence.People think this phenomenon of thinly masked anti-Zionist-flavored antisemitism is something new. It’s nothing new. It’s just good old-fashioned Jew Hatred on a new set of steroids in a dystopian reality where terrorism is all the rage and facts…well, they’re a matter of opinion. The pseudo-intelligentsia have been consumed with useful idiocy, but somewhere in the abyss there does lie common sense and a voice of reason. Someone who can make sense of all the nonsense, and connect all the dots until the picture becomes clear.That someone is Thane Rosenbaum.In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Thane Rosenbaum discuss the legal and moral implications of the war in Gaza and how the world got swept away in the tide of jihadi terror.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about how propaganda and the weaponization of words really works...and why it is so easy to fall into its trap.

The world changed on October 7, 2023. It didn’t just change for Israel. It didn’t just change for the Jewish People. It changed for humanity.On that dark day, some 6000 Gazans—both terrorists and thousands of civilians—invaded the Jewish State and committed the most unspeakable and unthinkable atrocities in modern history.While most Muslims ran to defend the orgy of evil, Anila Ali ran the other way. Citing her belief in the goodness of the Quran, Anila has been unapologetically speaking out against both the rampage and the antisemitism that has exploded in its wake, for the past 21 ½ months.Anila isn’t anti-Muslim. She is pro-humanity, and her fight is the fight for peace, dignity and prosperity for all of mankind.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Anila Ali discuss what it means to be a Muslim Zionist and why interfaith understanding and mutual respect are so important.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Muslims are hapless victims in the Israel-Hamas war, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about shared humanity and values that transcend religion and nationality.WHERE TO FIND ANILA:WEBSITE: https://AnilaAli.comAMMWEC: https://ammwec.org/X: https://x.com/ammwecofficialINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ammwec_global/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@AnilaAli1Anila Ali is a Muslim faith leader, author, and civil rights advocate promoting interfaith dialogue, women’s empowerment, and religious freedom.

The Yoga of War Podcast has been blessed with some truly incredible guests. A litany of the most important and influential pro-Israel voices on earth have graced the show with both their presence and their knowledge. But today, I am joined by perhaps the wisest, most articulate and most intelligent of all the commentators. Barely ten years old, Ben Carasso is the coronated Spokeskid of Israel.But perhaps Spokeskid is the wrong term. Yes, Ben is a very young man, but he’s also an incredibly old soul with a tremendous amount to teach the so-called adults in the room. Ben is more than a Spokeskid, he is a Spokeshuman with tremendous poise and a sense of morality, kindness, and enlightenment you’ll be hard-pressed to find in any person of any age.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and @BenCarasso discuss what it's like being a kid in Israel today and what every person of any age needs to know about the Jewish State.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Israel is on the wrong side of history you owe it to yourself to listen to this insightful conversation from a child's perspective about growing up in Israel in the wake of October 7th, Jewish values, and what the world looks like from the inside looking out.Appropriate for children.

Born and raised in Israel, Ben is the third generation of Holocaust survivors and has grown up under the threat of ongoing rocket fire from Gaza, experiencing five military operations in his young life.At the age of 8, following the October 7th massacre, Ben decided to take an active role in Hasbara (Israel’s public diplomacy), aiming to show the world what life is like through the eyes of an Israeli child. In fluent English, he speaks to global audiences about the emotional and psychological impact of war on children—how it feels during a rocket attack, how daily life continues under threat, and how to support friends whose loved ones are on the frontlines or held hostage.Ben shares powerful, heartfelt videos across social media, gives talks to children, teens, and students around the world, and has appeared on various international media outlets. His courage and clarity have earned him widespread recognition: in 2025, he was honored with the Resilience Award by the Jewish Agency and Keren Hayesod, and lit the Independence Torch on Israel’s national day.

Israel and the Jewish People have been absolutely blessed with some incredible, vocal, and powerful Christian Zionist allies who have proven to be absolute heroes since the Hamas terrorist massacre on October 7, 2023.While so many people have lost sight of their Judeo-Christian values of condemning terror, defending justice, and loving one's neighbors, others have heard the call loud and clear.Influencers like musician John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting), news commentator Erin Molan, Ambassador Mike Huckabee, and TV host Dr. Phil (to name a few) reach millions of people a day with their message of Christian unity with the Jews and the Jewish State.And then there is Ihab Shlayan, a Lieutenant Colonel in the IDF Reserves who literally puts his life on the line to defend Am Yisrael. A native Israeli, as a Christian, Ihab was never required to serve in the IDF. But his love of country not only compelled him to serve, but to rise up to the highest ranking Christian officer in the entire Israel Defense Forces.Now THAT is next-level Christian Zionism.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Ihab Shlayan discuss what it means to be a Christian Zionist living in--and fighting for--the Jewish State.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Christian values mean you should oppose Israel in this existential war, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about honor and service, both to your nation and to your God.WHERE TO FIND IHAB:THE CHRISTIAN VOICE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/israeli_christiansFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/IsraeliChristianICICIhab Shlayan (born 1981 in Upper Nazareth, Israel) is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Reserves and one of the most prominent voices for Christian-Aramean identity in Israel.

🎥 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 One year ago, I had an idea for a podcast: The Yoga of War: Important Conversations About Israel & Antisemitism.By extraordinary luck, I found myself in a private chat with an absolute hero of truth and morality, urban warfare expert, John Spencer ( @johnspencer328 ). I have to be honest, when I asked if he would be the first guest on the show (well, I didn't exactly tell him he would be the first guest), I never thought he would actually say yes.A week later, John and I shot the first episode of The Yoga of War Podcast (https://youtube.com/live/5hxrvqDhKSo ). It was an incredible honor then and it is an incredible honor today, as John returns to the show to celebrate its first year.To be honest...I still can't believe he's here.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and John Spencer will discuss the war in Gaza, today and into the future.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks it's Israel's responsibility to call a ceasefire, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about why the IDF is still fighting in Gaza, how this war ends, and what comes next.BUY JOHN SPENCER'S BOOK "UNDERSTANDING URBAN WARFARE" (WRITTEN WITH LIAM COLLINS) ON AMAZON: https://amzn.to/47mK9mnBUY JOHN SPENCER'S BOOK "CONNECTED SOLDIERS" ON AMAZON: https://amzn.to/402clbUSUPPORT JOHN'S URBAN WARFARE INSTITUTE AT https://www.urbanwarfareinstitute.com/JOHN SPENCER ONLINE: https://www.johnspenceronline.comLISTEN TO JOHN'S URBAN WARFARE PROJECT PODCAST AT https://www.johnspenceronline.com/podcasts FOLLOW JOHN ON X AT https://x.com/SpencerGuard FOLLOW HIM ON INSTAGRAM AT https://www.instagram.com/spencerguard/ SUBSCRIBE TO JOHN SPENCER'S CHANNEL AT @johnspencer328 John Spencer is the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, host of the Urban Warfare Project podcast, and Executive Director of the Urban Warfare Institute.

Miri Gad Messika is a third-generation member of Kibbutz Be'eri and a graduate of the communal child-rearing system. Brought up in the idyllic Southern Israel community, directly on the border with Gaza, no one in her community ever could have imagined the horrors that unfolded on October 7, 2023.On that horrifying and fateful day--like all 1200 members of Be'eri--Miri, her husband, and three children hid in their home's secure room as terrorists rampaged through their community.Terrorists broke into their house and attempted to breach the door of the secure room. When they failed, they set the house on fire, with the whole family inside.Miri and her family had no choice but to jump from the second-floor window to survive. Neighbors who saw the family jumping ran to their aid and helped them escape to safety. During their evacuation, the bus carrying the family was shot at by terrorists, but miraculously no one was injured. Miri’s extended family also narrowly escaped the horrors of that day.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Miri Gad Messika discuss surviving the horrors of the October 7th Hamas rampage and what life has looked like since.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Israel is the aggressor in this terrible war in Gaza, you owe it to yourself to listen and understand what the face of diabolical evil really looks like and why Israel has the existential obligation to its people to ensure that nothing like 10/7 ever, ever happens again.HELP REBUILD KIBBUTZ BE'ERI: https://www.rebuildbeeri.org/WHERE TO FIND MIRI GAD MESSIKA:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/miri_gad_messikaFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/miri.gadHEBREW WEBSITE: https://mirigad.co.il/october7/Miri Gad Messika is a third-generation member of Kibbutz Be'eri and a graduate of the communal child-rearing system.

On October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorists launched a savage attack on southern Israel. 1200 were sadistically massacred, thousands more horrifically maimed, and 251 were viciously abducted as hostages back to Gaza.Today, 615 days later, there remain 55 hostages in brutal captivity, 20 of whom are still assumed to be alive. Among them, 24-year-old Bipin Joshi, a Nepali agriculture student who risked his own life to save his friends from the terrorist onslaught on that Black Saturday.A foreigner who had just arrived in Israel to learn agricultural techniques to bring home to Nepal, Bipin had absolutely nothing to do with the war or the Arab-Israeli conflict and had never even heard of Hamas. Hamas had utterly no reason to target Bipin, but they have not only held him, but have not provided a single sign of life in the 20 months since he was kidnapped.Imagine how excruciating this has been for his family and friends. Truly, beyond comprehension and we all pray for Bipin's safe return, home to heal.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica, Bipin's sister, Pushpa Joshi, Israeli advocate Adi Radai, and President of Chemdat College, Haim Shaked, connect to talk about Bipin, who he is, what he stands for, how the family has been coping, and their tireless efforts to bring Bipin home.If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand why Israel is at war with Hamas, their commitment to bring all hostages home, and the lives that hang in the balance, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion with empathy and understanding that sometimes things are worth fighting for.BRING BIPIN HOME ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bring.bipin.homeHOSTAGES AND MISSING FAMILIES FORUM: bit.ly/3HuDeyMBipin Joshi, a 23-year-old Nepali student, left home with dreams of a better future, leaving his country for the first time, and joining a “Learn and Earn” program on Kibbutz Alumim in Israel. On October 7, as Hamas terrorists stormed the kibbutz, Bipin and his friends hid in a bunker. When grenades were hurled in, Bipin risked his life—grabbing one and throwing it away to save others. Moments later, he was taken captive, his final message to his cousin a heartbreaking plea: “If something happens to me, take care of my family. Be strong.” His phone was later found in Gaza, but he vanished without a trace. Israeli officials believe he’s alive, but his condition remains unknown. Nepal’s top leaders are fighting for his release, while his family clings to hope, praying their son’s courage will bring him home.🎥 YOGA OF WAR ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥 🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

Everyone knows that Israel is engaged in a war in Gaza. What most people don't know is that this isn't a war ON Gaza. But actually on a country 1500 miles away.It is a war on the Iranian Regime.Confused? Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies is an expert on Iran and has been advising the White House all the way back to the (W) Bush Administration.And one thing you need to know if nothing else: Khamenei's Iran & IRGC pose an existential threat not only to the Jewish State, but to the entire Western World. From their nuclear aspirations to their terror proxy army, if all eyes aren't on Iran...they should be.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Mark Dubowitz discuss Israel's existential war against Iran and how the current Trump nuclear negotiations will inevitably change the world forever.If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't realize the significance of anti-Israel protestors being praised by the Ayatollah himself, you owe it to yourself to understand what this war is actually about and what is really at stake.INVEST IN FDD: https://www.fdd.org/invest/WHERE TO FIND MARK DUBOWITZ:FDD: https://www.fdd.org/team/mark-dubowitz/THE IRAN BREAKDOWN PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3SANpnMX: https://x.com/mdubowitzFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/MarkDubowitzFDD/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mdubowitz/Mark Dubowitz is the chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a Washington, D.C.-based nonpartisan policy institute, and a leading expert on Iran’s nuclear program and global threat networks.

In Psalm 118 Verse 22, it is stated, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”That builder’s stone—the one in the corner, the base, the foundation—is so often forgotten and ignored, buried below the magnificent structure that towers above it.But there’s only one problem: if you take away that stone, the entire edifice crumbles.Today, that stone is our Judeo-Christian values, and the castle is Western Civilization. A once towering civilization of exquisite grandeur that is now crashing down upon itself.Melanie Phillips’ book, The Builder’s Stone, is a commentary and scathing indictment of the suicidal trajectory of a faithless, Godless Western world.You don’t have to convert or even go to church or synagogue to adopt Judeo-Christian values. These are the values of civilized people. That’s why we call it civilization.In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Melanie Phillips discuss the psychology and pathology behind today's antisemitic, anti-Western delirium.If you are a yogi or yogini who believes that all value systems are equal, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the only two warring sectors of our society: those who believe in preserving our Western, Judeo-Christian values, and those who seek to tear them down.BUY MELANIE PHILLIPS' BOOK, THE BUILDER'S STONE, ON AMAZON: https://amzn.to/43vkQNBFIND MELANIE PHILLIPS AT:SUBSTACK: https://melaniephillips.substack.comX: https://x.com/MelanieLatestJEWISH NEWS SYNDICATE: https://www.jns.org/writers/melanie-phillips/THE TIMES OF LONDON: https://www.thetimes.com/profile/melanie-phillipsMelanie Phillips is a British journalist, broadcaster and author who has championed traditional values in the culture war for more than three decades.She writes a weekly column for The Times of London and the Jewish News Syndicate, broadcasts on radio and TV and gives public presentations across the English-speaking world.Her new book, The Builder’s Stone: How Jews and Christians built the West -- And Why Only They Can Save It, is published by Wicked Son.Her first novel, The Legacy, which deals with conflicted Jewish identity, antisemitism and the power of history, was published in 2018 along with her personal and political memoir, Guardian Angel.Her previous books include her 2006 best-seller Londonistan, about the British establishment's capitulation to Islamist aggression, and The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power, published in 2010.You can follow Melanie’s work at her website, www.melaniephillips.substack.com🎥 YOGA OF WAR ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🎥🪂 🤸 ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE "A PARATROOPER AND A YOGI WALK INTO A BAR..."

For many people around the globe—pro-Israel, anti-Israel, Jewish, non-Jewish—the 10/7 War is their first real awareness of the Israel-Gaza Conflict. We are all being bombarded, day in & day out, with a surreal narrative wherein 97% of all articles about the war cite Hamas terrorist sources rather than those of the legitimate, democratic government of Israel.Or should I say, the Jewish State?Because, let’s be honest. This sickening and extremely detrimental bias is deeply antisemitic. People don’t want to say it. But it is.Don’t believe me? How many times were ISIS, Taliban, or Al-Qaeda sources quoted in the War on Terror instead of the United States? I rest my case.But this extraordinary prejudice is actually not a new phenomenon at all. In fact, Amotz Eyal founded The Press Service of Israel all the way back in 2010, because anti-Israel media agendas weren’t just already a problem, they were already a crisis.Today, Amotz juggles his elite IDF reserve service with his work as CEO of TPS-Il. A man who has been honored by the State of Israel for his exemplary commitment to his nation, Amotz is truly a hero on multiple fronts. In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica & Amotz Eyal discuss anti-Israel elements in the media & on the ground, and all the amazing things he is doing to fight them both.If you are a yogi or yogini who takes the relentlessly pro-Hamas narrative at face value, you owe it to yourself to really understand how fabricated, counterfactual, and downright dangerous these lies really are.SUPPORT TPS AND ITS MISSION: https://web.causematch.com/donate/tpsWHERE TO FIND AMOTZ EYAL & TPS-IL:TPS WEBSITE: https://tps.co.ilX: https://x.com/eyalamotzTPS-IL ON X: https://x.com/TPS_News_co_ilFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/amotz.eyal/TPS ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/tps_news/LINKEDIN: https://il.linkedin.com/in/amotz-eyal-486a0567READ MATTI FRIEDMAN'S ARTICLE : https://bit.ly/4jgJpndAmotz Eyal is the founder/CEO of The Press Service of Israel, the country’s only news agency, which he established in 2010 to provide accurate, on-the-ground reporting about Israel in response to biased international coverage. Under his leadership, TPS-IL manages over 450 professionals & volunteers, partners with hundreds of media outlets globally—including in the Arab world, Europe, Latin America, & Asia—and has reached over 6 billion people in the past year.

🔇 YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0 🔇Am Yisrael Chai!The Nation of Israel Lives!It's become an anthem, a greeting, a prayer, an affirmation, a war call. And it is all of that and none of that, at once. As Rabbi Leor Sinai says, "Am Yisrael Chai is not a slogan. It's a way of life."So what does it really mean?What is it about these three words that has stirred the soul of a nation?Well, the answer is in the question: Am Yisrael is an entire nation with just one soul. A nation that beats--and bleeds--with one heart.But have we forgotten?What will it take to remind the Jews of Israel and the Diaspora that, in fact, we are all one? And imagine the nation that will rise again when we do.In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Rabbi Leor Sinai discuss Zionism, the love of Israel, and the Jewish people, both now and forever more.If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Zionism is a bad thing, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the Jewish soul, Jewish values, and why the State of Israel is so important to the Jewish people's very existence.WHERE TO FIND LEOR SINAI:WEB: https://leorsinai.comFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Rabbi.Leor.SinaiX: https://x.com/LeorSinaiINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/sinaitozion/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@LeorSinaiLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in//leor_sinaiFROM THE SHOW:Acheinu prayer in Hebrew and English: https://opensiddur.org/prayers/collective-welfare/trouble/captivity/aheinu/Exodus 25:8 “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them”Rabbi Leor Sinai is a Global Speaker, Education Diplomacy Thought-Leader, and long-time Campaign Executive.

Decades of tireless work was about to pay off in tremendous dividends.Two days later, the October 7 pogrom was unleashed on Israel and Sagi immediately packed his bag. Without a moment’s hesitation, he dropped everything and drove into the melee. A reservist in the IDF elite special forces, he went straight to Sheba Hospital to help the most severely injured soldiers. And he’s been there every day since.Sagi shuttered his brand new business and gave up everything to fulfill a self-funded mission to do anything and everything possible to help the soldiers rebuild their lives and regain their personal power. And he did it simply for the joy of helping others.While Hamas has played a game of intense psychological warfare, Sagi has equipped an entire army of warriors with mindsets of steel that only get stronger the more they are challenged.Israel is a land of miracles and Sagi is a miracle worker. Infinitely humble, he always makes his soldiers the heroes. But let’s be clear: Sagi is the most superhuman of heroes and he has a heart of solid gold.In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica & Sagi Dovev discuss his remarkable work saving lives, restoring dignity, and building the next generation of personally empowered leaders.If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand the importance of mindset in ultimate personal power, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about unparalleled personal sacrifice, remarkable resilience and, yes, absolute miracles.🙏 PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY TO SAGI DOVEV!
