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.

"Inspiring"

"Motivational"

"Uplifting"

"Heartwarming"

"Jewish"

On October 5, 2023, international Ju-Jitsu champion & IDF elite special ops trainer Sagi Dovev launched SORTEAM, a resilience training program with a roster of lucrative contracts already in place. 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.

Hours after the diabolical Hamas attacks on Israel, the morning of October 7, 2023, Retired Lieutenant Colonel, Jonathan Conricus reported as a civilian volunteer for reserve duty and was appointed as an IDF Reserve International Spokesperson.

After serving 24 years in the Israel Defense Forces, including four years as International Spokesperson from 2017-2021, he was just the right person for the job.

He remained in that distinguished position until the end of 2023 and in those grueling three months, he conducted a nonstop flurry of interviews, briefings, and events. Covering all time zones and media outlets, Jonathan conducted 30-40 interviews with top-tier news services every night, and filled his days with Zoom calls, meetings, and diplomacy.

His service to his nation was tireless, unwavering, and inspiring, as he educated us all on the truth about Israel and their defensive and existential war in Gaza.

Despite the media's relentless anti-Israel bias and aggression, Jonathan never lost his cool. Never lost his composure.

As the voice of sanity and rationality in a hostile and sometimes antisemitic world, he reminded us daily--many times a day--how and why Israel is fighting this war. And why, no matter what, Israel must win.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Jonathan Conricus discuss Israel's expansive war against Iran and all its proxies, and what we can expect in the years to come.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Israel is the aggressor and oppressor of the Middle East, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the evil terrorist forces that Israel has always been up against, and the international communications machine that is hell-bent on delegitimizing the Jewish State.

These days, bridges seem to be burnt with far more passion than they are being built. It is an unfortunate reality that, disappointingly, has often left the world Jewish community standing alone on one side.

But there is a whole cadre of truly progressive--meaning seeking actual social progress--leaders who are looking to shift that paradigm.

No man is an island. And neither is any nation. The world today is an interconnected super-society of friends, enemies, and a whole lot of frenemies. But no one stands alone.

Rabbi Erez Sherman has been a leader on the interfaith front, creating alliances, friendships, and understanding between the Jewish and non-Jewish communities, both in his hometown of Los Angeles, and across the globe.

From the Voice of the People movement to the Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance, Rabbi Sherman is changing the face of friendship, fostering relationships across demographics to find the ties that bind and create a better future for us all.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Rabbi Erez Sherman discuss relations between Jews and Non-Jews in a post-October 7th world and why they are so important.

If you are a yogi or yogini who sees Jews as "the other," you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about interfaith dialogue, appreciation, and kindness. Ultimately, we are all one.

It's Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2025. In the dark shadow of October 7th, and in the 18th month of the Israel-Hamas War, this day is wrought with profound significance & reflection.

The world has exploded in antisemitic convulsions that are startlingly reminiscent of Nazi Germany. And meanwhile in Berlin, one woman literally stands alone, strong, and unshakable in support of Israel, the Jewish People...and decency.

Neither Jewish nor Israeli, Karoline Preisler has taken it upon herself to bravely advocate for the hostages, the victims of 10/7, and the Jewish State...right in the middle of the weekly violent anti-Israel protests. As aggressive protestors scream for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of the Jewish State, Karoline stands calmly and resolutely, holding flowers and signs: "Believe Israeli Women" "Until The Last Hostage" "Rape Is Not Resistance" "Fight Antisemitism" and more.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Karoline Preisler discuss Karoline's astounding dedication, passionate advocacy, and superhuman ability to stand tall in a world that seems determined to knock her down.

If you are a yogi or yogini who is afraid to speak up for what you believe in you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about doing what is right simply because it is right, being brave even when it's scary, and committing your life to creating a better, kinder world.

Michael Berenbaum joined us on the Yoga of War Podcast a couple weeks ago to discuss some of the terminology that has been used to compare the Holocaust with the Gaza War. Today, we will explore the ideologies of Nazism and Radical Islam, how they tie in to each other and how they differ.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Michael Berenbaum discuss Hamas and the Holocaust. The similarities, the differences, and why we need to know the difference. If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't know the connection between Hamas's Gaza and Nazi Germany, you owe it to yourself to listen to part two of this discussion exploring how very far back the Islamic/Nazi alliance goes back, how inextricably linked the ideologies really are, and the historical lessons that can save Western Civilization.

Hillel Fuld ( @hilzfuld ) is nothing if not outspoken.

His tweets on X have had billions of views in the 18 months since October 7 and he has been extremely instrumental in informing and enlightening the world on the realities of the war in Gaza and the state of the Jewish State.

From the ceasefire and hostage deal to Benjamin Netanyahu and the future of democracy to the judicial reform protests and Deep State, Hillel is at the forefront of it all, deconstructing, elucidating, educating, commentating, and sometimes really pissing people off.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica welcomes Hillel Fuld back to the Yoga of War Podcast to discuss what is going on in Israel today, what is going on with the Israel-Hamas War, and what the future holds for each side. And...a bissela Torah.

On 10/7/23, the Western World was shocked and horrified by terror and brutality unleashed in the single largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The parallels were undeniable and widely discussed.

The rapturous sadism with which the atrocities were executed, absolutely satanic.

The way that Hamas terrorists took over Gaza, so similar to Nazism and the rise of Hitler.

And, of course, the hostages, released in a perverse circus of depravity...the comparisons to survivors of the Nazi death camps were impossible to ignore.

In sickly ironic and very deliberate narratives, pro-Hamas antisemites and anti-Zionists also rushed to comparisons: Gaza as a concentration camp, the IDF as the new Nazis, and Benjamin Netanyahu playing the role of Hitler.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Michael Berenbaum discuss Hamas and the Holocaust. The similarities, the differences, and why we need to know the difference.
