John Ondrasik rocked the world in December 2023, with his release of the epic anthem of humanity, "OK" (We Are Not OK). That rock became seismic when the official video dropped.

A scathing indictment on the state of humanity and morality in America, the heart-rending visuals added an unbearable punch in the gut to Ondrasik's already piercing musical commentary.

Neither Jewish nor Israeli, Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) saw it as a moral imperative that he speak up in the face of general and shameful silence across the music and entertainment industries regarding the pure evil that Hamas unleashed on Israel on October 7, 2023.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and John Ondrasik discuss the principles of morality and allyship...and the dangers of staying silent.

If you are a yogi or yogini who is confused about the bright line between good and evil, drawn so clearly on 10/7, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the slippery slope the West is sliding down and what lies in wait at the bottom.

Sinwar is dead. Now what?

The IDF is literally doing the Free World's dirty work, assassinating the Middle East's most egregious and evil terrorist leaders, one by one. Sure, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden want to share the credit for this most recent win--the assassination of Yahya Sinwar--but let's not forget that they were the ones who forbade Israel to go into Rafah...where they found Sinwar. And they are the ones that are undermining Israel on the world stage at every possible juncture.

There's that.

Israel is fighting the West's War on Terror and Sinwar was Public Enemy #1.

Shabbos Kestenbaum was a grad student at Harvard Divinity School in the fall of 2023. He was there to get an education from one of the most prestigious institutions on earth. The education he got, was not what he came for.

On October 7, 2023, Shabbos, an observant Jew, was astounded by the anti-Israel and deeply antisemitic vitriol that consumed Harvard within hours of the unspeakable atrocities that were committed by Hamas against the Jewish State of Israel.

The university broke out in a horrible rash of antisemitic and threatening demonstrations not just against Israel, but against the Jewish students and faculty on campus, as well. Despite pleas to the Harvard Administration to step in and take action to stop the threats, Shabbos was ignored.

Shortly thereafter, Harvard University President Claudine Gay uttered the famous words to Congress: calling for the genocide of Jews at Harvard was to be tolerated, "depending on the context."

Well, Gay lost her job and now Harvard finds itself being sued by a group of Jewish students--led by Kestenbaum--for violating Title VI and their rights to be protected on campus.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Shabbos Kestenbaum discuss what it was like to be a student at Harvard in 2023/24, the implications of the administrations' inaction to defend its Jewish community, and why Shabbos ultimately decided to sue the university.

If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand what the campus encampments, demonstrations, and violence mean for the future of higher learning, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the rampant antisemitism on our college campuses, how schools are fostering a climate of intimidation against Jews, and why everyone should care.

Shabbos Kestenbaum holds a Master's Degree from Harvard University, where he researched the intersections between public policy and contemporary Jewish life in America. Shabbos was the founder and President of the Harvard Divinity School Jewish Student Association and active member of both Harvard Chabad and Harvard Hillel. Shabbos graduated Summa Cum Laude from Queens College, where he served as its Hillel President and Student Senator. Shabbos hopes to begin a career in public policy in DC. He has testified in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and is currently the lead plaintiff against Harvard University alleging pervasive and severe antisemitism.
