  • John Ondrasik Five For Fighting | Ethics & Allies | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation w/Shana Meyerson
    2024/10/24

    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.

    🎥 OK Official Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJXo2Gn-ww

    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 | Lawsuit Against Harvard | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana Meyerson
    2024/10/14

    YOGA OF WAR PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEk7dn2pk4QXmLMnBCB80yQXIIcBDYsi0

    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.

    Watching the world unravel and descend into a pit of antisemitism has been horrifying to watch. Not just as a Jew, but as a human. This is not a Jewish problem. This is a world and a societal problem. It needs to be fixed.

    It's been a year since thousands of Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel and perpetrated the most horrific atrocities ever seen in the modern world on such a devastating scale.

    The world watched in real time and had to make a moral decision. To stand with goodness or to stand with evil.

    In this episode, Shana Meyerson reflects on the year behind and what might lie ahead.

  • Simcha Greiniman | 10/7 ZAKA Search & Rescue | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana Meyerson
    2024/09/30

    Simcha Greiniman ( @zakasearchrescue1268 ) is a Commander and Veteran Volunteer with ZAKA Search & Rescue, an Israeli NGO with over 3000 international volunteers who swiftly respond to assist in humanitarian emergencies across the globe.

    From natural disasters to terror attacks and other mass casualty events, the heroes of ZAKA have seen a lot...but nothing as horrifying and disturbing as what they witnessed in the days and weeks following the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023.

    Even the most stoic of rescue workers were profoundly traumatized and brought to their knees. Many are still working on recovering from the horrors that they saw.

    In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Simcha Greiniman discuss what might very well be the single toughest job on earth, recovering bodies--or what's left of them--after a catastrophic crisis, what happened on 10/7 and why the world needs to care.

    If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand the profound implications of Hamas's deliberate genocidal rampage against the Jews, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about what Israel endured on the darkest day since the Holocaust and why it is so important that they ensure...never again is NOW.

  • Andrew Fox | IDF & War Crimes | Israel-Hamas War | Conversation with Shana Meyerson
    2024/09/29

    Ret. Major Andrew Fox has seen his fair share of war…and urban warfare.

    There are so many voices chiming in on the ramifications of Israel’s war against Hamas and the Iranian Ring of Fire, but precious few who actually have the legitimacy of firsthand experience to back them up.

    Andrew Fox has not only fought in urban battles, but has also been behind the frontlines in Gaza to see exactly how the Israel Defense Forces operation is being executed and assess the legal legitimacy of their strategies and tactics.

    While the ICC, ICJ, and a slew of United Nations member states accuse Israel of committing systemic war crimes, Fox has come to an entirely different conclusion.

    In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Andrew Fox examine the legitimacy of war crime charges against Israel, as well as clarifying commonly misappropriated military concepts such as proportionality, collective punishment, and genocide.

    If you are a yogi or yogini who is convinced that Israel is committing genocide and Netanyahu is a war criminal, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the facts on the ground in the Middle East and how unfair double standards undermine Israel’s legitimate war on terror.

    If you are a yogi or yogini marching for Hamas or against the Jewish State, you owe it to yourself to tune in.

    Words matter and intention matters and if you think you are fighting for social justice by supporting terrorism, it may be time to reexamine your values and motivations.

    In this video, Shana Meyerson talks about the anti-Israel protestors that are filling our city streets and campuses, and the true implications of their so-called "progressive" ideals and actions.
