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.

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. Today, we delve into The World According To Ruthie. In a few days, we'll hear Mark's side of the story, The World According to Mark (https://youtube.com/live/IOCBshiXCnw ).

If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't realize how profoundly October 7 changed even your life and your beliefs, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation to move past the propaganda and understand the impact and implications of what really happened that dark day.

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.

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.

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.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day—a day the world marks not with slogans, but with a responsibility: to remember what happens when testimony is ignored, evidence is lost, and truth is allowed to erode.

Today we remember. We remember the atrocities committed against the Jewish people in World War II, and we remember the atrocities of today.

This is not a story about politics. It is a record of truth.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Edut 710's Itay Ken-Tor, discuss the archive, its urgency, and its mission, and October 7th survivor, Adele P. Raemer, shares her personal story of survival.

If you are a yogi or yogini who doubts or denies the Hamas massacres of October 7th, you owe it to yourself to listen to this conversation about terror, survival, resilience...and truth.

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.

On 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.

Tami 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.
