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 the terrorist onslaught on that Black Saturday.
A foreigner who had just arrived in Israel to learn agricultural techniques to bring home to Nepal, Bipin had absolutely nothing to do with the war or the Arab-Israeli conflict and had never even heard of Hamas. Hamas had utterly no reason to target Bipin, but they have not only held him, but have not provided a single sign of life in the 20 months since he was kidnapped.
Imagine how excruciating this has been for his family and friends. Truly, beyond comprehension and we all pray for Bipin's safe return, home to heal.
In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica, Bipin's sister, Pushpa Joshi, Israeli advocate Adi Radai, and President of Chemdat College, Haim Shaked, connect to talk about Bipin, who he is, what he stands for, how the family has been coping, and their tireless efforts to bring Bipin home.
If you are a yogi or yogini who doesn't understand why Israel is at war with Hamas, their commitment to bring all hostages home, and the lives that hang in the balance, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion with empathy and understanding that sometimes things are worth fighting for.

Bipin Joshi, a 23-year-old Nepali student, left home with dreams of a better future, leaving his country for the first time, and joining a “Learn and Earn” program on Kibbutz Alumim in Israel. On October 7, as Hamas terrorists stormed the kibbutz, Bipin and his friends hid in a bunker. When grenades were hurled in, Bipin risked his life—grabbing one and throwing it away to save others. Moments later, he was taken captive, his final message to his cousin a heartbreaking plea: “If something happens to me, take care of my family. Be strong.” His phone was later found in Gaza, but he vanished without a trace. Israeli officials believe he’s alive, but his condition remains unknown. Nepal’s top leaders are fighting for his release, while his family clings to hope, praying their son’s courage will bring him home.
