Yoga, Ahimsa &amp; The Tragedy Of War</p></p>The Yoga of War Podcast features conversations and insights on the moral implications of the Israel-Gaza War from a wide variety of pro-Israel voices and perspectives.</p></p>Ahimsa is nonviolence and a cornerstone of yogic living. War is something to be avoided whenever possible, but also (per the Bhagavad Gita) a moral imperative when it comes to defending yourself and your community.</p></p>After the massacre and unthinkable atrocities of October 7, 2023, Israel had no choice but to go to war and finally defeat its enemies on seven fronts, starting with Hamas in Gaza.</p></p>The IDF takes extraordinary measures literally unheard of in the history of warfare to mitigate civilian casualties, but tragically, every war results in civilian deaths. That is an inevitable reality.</p></p>To support Israel in this war isn’t to support war nor is it to ignore the horrors occurring in Gaza. It is to support the right of a nation to defend itself and its people in hopes of peace on both sides of the border.</p></p>Please consider supporting the show 🙏 </p>GoFundMe: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://gofund.me/9d5262f8">https://gofund.me/9d5262f8</a> </p>Venmo: @miniyogis </p>Zelle: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:shana@yogathletica.com">shana@yogathletica.com</a> </p>And thank you! 🙏</p></p>#YogaOfWar</p></p>#israelpodcast #jewishpodcast #israel #israelhamaswar #israelgazawar #istandwithisrael #istandwithisraelforever #amyisraelchai #bringthemhomenow</p></p>#newpodcastalert #femalepodcasters #podcastlaunch #podcastinterviews</p>

The Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement has been in place for 18 hours and so far, so good.
In this podcast episode, Shana Meyerson discusses the positive implications of the ceasefire from a pro-Israel perspective.
Is this the best deal ever? No. Is it the best possible deal? Probably.

Danielle Sasi Peretz, a Los Angeles native, was in Israel to celebrate the Jewish holidays in 2023. She and six of her family members went to the Nova Music Festival on Simchat Torah, the most joyous day of the Jewish calendar.
Nova was a music and dance festival that attracted thousands of people from all over the world and all walks of life to celebrate music, peace, the environment and life.
At the break of dawn, 6:29am, Hamas terrorists overran the party via truck, motorcycle, and the now infamous hanggliders, to massacre as many people as possible. The atrocities that occurred that day defy humanity and many are too barbaric to even think about.
By the end of the Hamas terrorist rampage, 365 Nova attendees were left murdered. Four of Danielle's family members among them.
It is only by a miracle of God that Danielle is with us today to tell her story.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Danielle Sasi Peretz discuss the Nova Festival, the massacre, and the aftermath for the survivors of the most diabolical terrorist attack in modern history.
If you are a yogi or yogini who either denies the atrocities of October 7, mitigates or justifies them, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about terror, survival, and what innocent victims really look like.

Danielle Sasi Peretz was born and raised in Los Angeles to Israeli parents. Growing up, she attended Jewish private schools and visited Israel at least once a year to see family. Danielle married her husband in 2022 and had their first born son in May 2023. In September of 2023 they went to Israel to celebrate the Jewish holidays. They wanted to dance the night away at the Nova Festival. That was a day before they were supposed to fly home. Out of seven family members who attended the Nova Music Festival, only three made it home.

How influential was the trans issue really in the 2024 Presidential Election? And why???
The Democratic Party is still reeling from the election two weeks ago and maybe even waking up to the reality that the American people have spoken loudly.
Woke ideology and identity politics have gone a step too far and pushed even those on the Left right of center.
Meanwhile, AOC quietly drops her pronouns from her X profile thinking no one would notice.
But they did. And it does mean something.

Yasmine Mohammed never left the Left. But the Left definitely did abandon her.
After being raised by a "born again" Muslim mother and an abusive Islamic step-father, Yasmine was married off at age 20 to an Al Qaeda operative who subjected her to demoralizing dehumanization that simply stole her soul. Ultimately, it was only to save her daughter from genital mutilation and the same evil, inhuman fate she was suffering that Yasmine finally found the strength to take her beloved child and escape this horrifying life imprisoned by Radical Islam.
A bold and fearless human rights activist, Yasmine has emerged as a celebrated hero in the fight against antisemitism. As the Left she used to love abandoned her for anti-Western, anti-humanistic values, she could not help but speak up for what she saw as clear morality, truth and justice in the wake of the 10/7 massacre.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Yasmine Mohammed discuss Radical Islam's War on the West and how its threat extends so far beyond Israel and the Jewish People.
If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Radical Islam represents liberal values, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the dark soul of Sharia and its very frightening prospects for Western Civilization.

I've lost my actual voice...but will never stop speaking up!
Trump won the 2024 US election. Kamala is out. And Biden is the lame duck President of the United States for the next two months.
How on earth did this Red Wave sweep the entire nation?
This is more than just an aberration. The American people have spoken. Do you hear what we are saying???
We must stand up for the future of our nation. We must stand up for Western values. We must stand up against terrorism. We must stand up against hate. We must stand up against antisemitism. And we must stand for our strongest and most strategic ally, Israel. Hard Stop.

Michael Veksel is a director, producer and editor based out of Tel Aviv, Israel. His groundbreaking documentary, "In the Same Boat" (Arvut Production, 2024), tells the remarkable and inspiring stories of five Arab-Israeli heroes and some of the Jewish Nova Festival survivors they saved from the October 7 Hamas terrorist massacre.
The film is a powerful amalgamation of the trauma and the hope of a nation, all melted together.
All of the heroes are Arabs, but they are also proud Israelis. Theirs is a story not often told. "In the Same Boat" profoundly depicts their bravery and their sadness, their strength and brokenness. All ending on such a beautiful note.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Michael Veksel discuss these heroes and the survivors, the tapestry that is Israel, and how 10/7 changed them all forever.
If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't know about Arab-Jewish respect and coexistence in Israel, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about an ethnically diverse nation that looks out for each other, cares for each other, and stands together proudly as one.

John Ondrasik rocked the world in December 2023, with his release of the epic anthem of humanity, "OK" (We Are Not OK). That rock became seismic when the official video dropped.
🎥 OK Official Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJXo2Gn-ww
A scathing indictment on the state of humanity and morality in America, the heart-rending visuals added an unbearable punch in the gut to Ondrasik's already piercing musical commentary.
Neither Jewish nor Israeli, Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) saw it as a moral imperative that he speak up in the face of general and shameful silence across the music and entertainment industries regarding the pure evil that Hamas unleashed on Israel on October 7, 2023.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and John Ondrasik discuss the principles of morality and allyship...and the dangers of staying silent.
If you are a yogi or yogini who is confused about the bright line between good and evil, drawn so clearly on 10/7, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the slippery slope the West is sliding down and what lies in wait at the bottom.

Sinwar is dead. Now what?
The IDF is literally doing the Free World's dirty work, assassinating the Middle East's most egregious and evil terrorist leaders, one by one. Sure, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden want to share the credit for this most recent win--the assassination of Yahya Sinwar--but let's not forget that they were the ones who forbade Israel to go into Rafah...where they found Sinwar. And they are the ones that are undermining Israel on the world stage at every possible juncture.
There's that.
Israel is fighting the West's War on Terror and Sinwar was Public Enemy #1.

Shabbos Kestenbaum was a grad student at Harvard Divinity School in the fall of 2023. He was there to get an education from one of the most prestigious institutions on earth. The education he got, was not what he came for.
On October 7, 2023, Shabbos, an observant Jew, was astounded by the anti-Israel and deeply antisemitic vitriol that consumed Harvard within hours of the unspeakable atrocities that were committed by Hamas against the Jewish State of Israel.
The university broke out in a horrible rash of antisemitic and threatening demonstrations not just against Israel, but against the Jewish students and faculty on campus, as well. Despite pleas to the Harvard Administration to step in and take action to stop the threats, Shabbos was ignored.
Shortly thereafter, Harvard University President Claudine Gay uttered the famous words to Congress: calling for the genocide of Jews at Harvard was to be tolerated, "depending on the context."
Well, Gay lost her job and now Harvard finds itself being sued by a group of Jewish students--led by Kestenbaum--for violating Title VI and their rights to be protected on campus.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Shabbos Kestenbaum discuss what it was like to be a student at Harvard in 2023/24, the implications of the administrations' inaction to defend its Jewish community, and why Shabbos ultimately decided to sue the university.
If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand what the campus encampments, demonstrations, and violence mean for the future of higher learning, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the rampant antisemitism on our college campuses, how schools are fostering a climate of intimidation against Jews, and why everyone should care.

Shabbos was the founder and President of the Harvard Divinity School Jewish Student Association and active member of both Harvard Chabad and Harvard Hillel. Shabbos graduated Summa Cum Laude from Queens College, where he served as its Hillel President and Student Senator. Shabbos hopes to begin a career in public policy in DC. He has testified in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and is currently the lead plaintiff against Harvard University alleging pervasive and severe antisemitism.
