It's Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2025. In the dark shadow of October 7th, and in the 18th month of the Israel-Hamas War, this day is wrought with profound significance & reflection.

The world has exploded in antisemitic convulsions that are startlingly reminiscent of Nazi Germany. And meanwhile in Berlin, one woman literally stands alone, strong, and unshakable in support of Israel, the Jewish People...and decency.

Neither Jewish nor Israeli, Karoline Preisler has taken it upon herself to bravely advocate for the hostages, the victims of 10/7, and the Jewish State...right in the middle of the weekly violent anti-Israel protests. As aggressive protestors scream for the genocide of Jews and the destruction of the Jewish State, Karoline stands calmly and resolutely, holding flowers and signs: "Believe Israeli Women" "Until The Last Hostage" "Rape Is Not Resistance" "Fight Antisemitism" and more.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Karoline Preisler discuss Karoline's astounding dedication, passionate advocacy, and superhuman ability to stand tall in a world that seems determined to knock her down.

If you are a yogi or yogini who is afraid to speak up for what you believe in you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about doing what is right simply because it is right, being brave even when it's scary, and committing your life to creating a better, kinder world.

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.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Michael Berenbaum discuss Hamas and the Holocaust. The similarities, the differences, and why we need to know the difference. If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't know the connection between Hamas's Gaza and Nazi Germany, you owe it to yourself to listen to part two of this discussion exploring how very far back the Islamic/Nazi alliance goes back, how inextricably linked the ideologies really are, and the historical lessons that can save Western Civilization.

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 forefront of it all, deconstructing, elucidating, educating, commentating, and sometimes really pissing people off.

In this conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica welcomes Hillel Fuld back to the Yoga of War Podcast to discuss what is going on in Israel today, what is going on with the Israel-Hamas War, and what the future holds for each side. And...a bissela Torah.

If you are a yogi or yogini who is confused about the popular uprisings within Israel, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about what the people of Israel and the government of Israel each stand for and the complexities that, despite it all, will forever bind the two.

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 of depravity...the comparisons to survivors of the Nazi death camps were impossible to ignore.

In sickly ironic and very deliberate narratives, pro-Hamas antisemites and anti-Zionists also rushed to comparisons: Gaza as a concentration camp, the IDF as the new Nazis, and Benjamin Netanyahu playing the role of Hitler.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Michael Berenbaum discuss Hamas and the Holocaust. The similarities, the differences, and why we need to know the difference.

If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't know the connection between Hamas's Gaza and Nazi Germany, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion, learn how very far back the Islamic/Nazi alliance goes back, how inextricably linked the ideologies really are, and the historical lessons that can save Western Civilization.

Ethnic Studies sounds like such a warm, fuzzy concept. I learn about you, you learn about me. We foster mutual respect, tolerance, and appreciation for our cultures, traditions, and histories.

Unless you’re a Jew.

What masquerades as a well-intentioned effort to promote co-existence and understanding within the great melting pot we call America, happens to have a very dark underbelly that not only excludes, but demonizes, one minority group.

The one group, in fact, that is the target of more hate crimes than any other, despite comprising only 2% of the American population.

Condescendingly branded as the uber-White, uber-privileged, uber-oppressors, the Jewish people and the Jewish State are literally depicted in many of these Ethnic Studies using age-old antisemitic tropes and blood libels that teach our next generation to not only hate the Jews but to march against them, openly threaten them, and even call for their death and destruction.

Not so warm and fuzzy, is it

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Brandy Shufutinsky dive deep into the cesspool of Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory and discuss how, exactly, these movements that pretend to promote unity and understanding actually radicalize our next generations with divisive and hateful rhetoric

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Ethnic Studies promotes tolerance and understanding of all minorities, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how our children are being programmed to demonize the Jewish State and the Jewish people and what the downstream effects are of such dangerous indoctrination.

CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis shouldn't have to exist. Neither should a whole slew of watchdog organizations whose 24/7 mission is to monitor the relentless anti-Israel bias that plagues the media.

Once upon a time, media objectivity was the standard. Newspapers and broadcasts did something absolutely unheard of today: they just reported the news. Not from the perspective of the left, not from the right. No agenda. And with only one goal: to inform the public of facts.

Weird, right?

These days, every media outlet has an agenda. There is truly no such thing as unbiased reporting or journalistic integrity. And, sadly, one of the most pervasive and predominant narratives is the anti-Israel, anti-Zionist--and, by default, largely antisemitic--one.

The challenges presented by this phenomenon go far beyond the pages of the New York Times or the airwaves of the BBC. They even go beyond politics and diplomacy, and actually foster a hostile and increasingly violent society that threatens the very existence, safety, and security of the Jewish State as well the Jewish people all across the globe.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and David Litman from CAMERA.org discuss the decades-old scourge of anti-Israel media bias, what CAMERA does to recalibrate the imbalances, and why the world so desperately needs accurate reporting.

If you are a yogi or yogini who takes the news that you read or watch at face value, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about how to identify impartial news coverage, how to be a mindful listener, and the importance of constant critical thinking.

The terrorists of Hamas have reportedly agreed to free all remaining Israeli-American hostages (Idan Alexander, Itay Chen, Omer Neutra, Gadi Haggai, and Judy Weinstein) in exchange for 30 more days of ceasefire and an undisclosed number of Hamas terrorists to be released from prison.

Obviously Donald Trump's threats are moving the needle on hostage negotiations. But is it moving enough???
