The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish People
Yoga, Ahimsa & The Tragedy Of War The Yoga of War Podcast with Shana Meyerson features conversations and insights on the moral implications of the Israel-Gaza War from a wide variety of pro-Israel voices and perspectives. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Israel and the Jewish People have been absolutely blessed with some incredible, vocal, and powerful Christian Zionist allies who have proven to be absolute heroes since the Hamas terrorist massacre on October 7, 2023.
While so many people have lost sight of their Judeo-Christian values of condemning terror, defending justice, and loving one's neighbors, others have heard the call loud and clear.

One year ago, I had an idea for a podcast: The Yoga of War: Important Conversations About Israel & Antisemitism.
By extraordinary luck, I found myself in a private chat with an absolute hero of truth and morality, urban warfare expert, John Spencer ( @johnspencer328 ). I have to be honest, when I asked if he would be the first ...

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...

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...
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 roo...

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 t...
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 I...
In Psalm 118 Verse 22, it is stated, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”
That builder’s stone—the one in the corner, the base, the foundation—is so often forgotten and ignored, buried below the magnificent structure that towers above it.
But there’s only one problem: if you take away that stone, the entire edifice crumbles.
Today, that stone is our Judeo-Christian values, and the castle is Western Civili...
For many people around the globe—pro-Israel, anti-Israel, Jewish, non-Jewish—the 10/7 War is their first real awareness of the Israel-Gaza Conflict.
We are all being bombarded, day in & day out, with a surreal narrative wherein 97% of all articles about the war cite Hamas terrorist sources rather than those of the legitimate, democratic government of Israel.
Or should I say, the Jewish State?
Because, let’s be honest. This sicken...

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...
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 in...
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 distinguish...
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...

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.

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 fo...
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 ...
