At this point, anyone in the Israel game knows student Shabbos Kestenbaum and professor Shai Davidai. Pay attention a little closer, and you probably know Tessa Veksler and Eli Tsives, too. These pro-Israel campus activists have gotten a tremendous amount of media and social media attention, which helps to carry them and their cause even in the face of the most vile and relentless adversity and abuse.

But what happens when you are a lone soldier, fighting for Israel and the Jewish people without international influencers and hundreds of thousands of supporters cheering you on?

Jane Hoffman, a remarkable young woman who just completed her freshman year at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is a fearless and proud Zionist who stands up and speaks up against any and all anti-Israel and antisemitic behavior that dares to fall within her sphere.

Whether it's confronting the dean of her university or the local barista, Jane is a one-woman IDF defending the Jewish nation she so dearly loves. This kind of moral clarity, conviction, and courage is extremely rare among Gen Z. Welcome to Generation Zionist.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Jane Hoffman discuss being a young Israel activist, the challenges and the empowerment, and the importance of standing up for what you know is right.

If you are a yogi or yogini who believes that the anti-Israel mobs and encampments are legitimate resistance, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about what it's like to be a Jewish student in 2025, what it means to be guided by Jewish values, and what it means to stand unapologetically against terror in the name of the Jewish nation.

Jane Hoffman is a student at the University of Colorado, Boulder where she is studying Psychology. At CU, Jane is actively involved in Jewish life and leadership on campus. Being a part of the Jewish community and a Zionist is central to the core of her being. She looks forward to interning at CAMERA this fall where she will get to expand her passion and dedication to Israel advocacy.

@jewishnevada9194 hosts Yoga of War podcaster, Shana Meyerson, in a discussion about the State of Israel and the Jewish people, past, present, and future. As the world is being consumed with antisemitism and Jew Hatred, what does that mean for the Jews of Israel and the Diaspora? In this discussion we discuss the relationship between yoga theory and war, the importance and imperative of standing up for Am Yisrael, and how to be bold and empowered even when it feels like the world is against you.

The Israel-Hamas War is now in Day 628. Certainly you have heard about Israel Defense Forces reservists who have served 300 days of active duty. IDF Sergeant Major @chaimalespin just completed 628.

That means for 628 consecutive days, Chaim has voluntarily put his family, his business, his life, and his personal safety on the back burner in order to defend his country. It's a kind of patriotic commitment that is hard to comprehend in most of the world. Not in Israel.

Israel is more than a country. Am Yisrael is a family. And family always stand together.

Chaim Malespin is the Chairman of the Board of the Aliyah Return Center and the host of The Real Israel Podcast. A faithful Jew, Chaim dedicates all aspects of his life to helping the Jewish State and the Jewish People to thrive, and his dedication knows no bounds.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Chaim Malespin discuss dedication and purpose, war and peace...and how they all tie together.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks war is the antithesis of peace you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about defending your nation, defending your people, and doing it all in the hopes of a better future.
