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.

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.

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.

IT'S TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2025, AND IDF LT. COL. (RES.) IHAB SHLAYAN JOINS THE YOGA OF WAR PODCAST TO GIVE US A LIVE TACTICAL UPDATE ON THE WAR WITH IRAN, AS ISRAEL'S WAR RAGES WITH IRAN, HAMAS, AND THE HOUTHIS.

Forgive the connection issues!

Get the latest breaking news update from Israel to gain some insight into the historical war with Iran's IRGC. This is a very difficult and uncertain time for Israel and the Middle East, as Israel fights this war on terror, the Iranian Regime and its terror proxies in Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and beyond. Now that Israel has achieved full aerial superiority and can operate freely across Iran, the entire geopolitical landscape of the Middle East (and the world) is about to change.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Ihab Shlayan discuss the latest developments in the war with Iran and what might come next.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks Iran is the good guy or victim in this war, you owe it to yourself to listen to this special report on why Iran poses a credible and extremely dangerous to both Israel and Western Civilization as a whole, and what Israel is doing to make the world a better, safer place for generations to come.

#israel #idf #israelwar #israelgazawar #gaza

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.

HOSTAGES AND MISSING FAMILIES FORUM: bit.ly/3HuDeyM

Bipin 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.

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.
