The Yoga of War Podcast welcomes back for the third time, David L. Bernstein, author of Woke Antisemitism and Founder of NAVI, the North American Values Institute.

In our first conversation, we discussed David's concept of Woke Antisemitism, the dangerous, rabid, and often confounding Jew Hatred that emerged from decades of Far Left intersectional ideology.

Our second discussion, exactly one year ago, focused on the question of whether today's antisemitism--which accelerated to warp speeds after the October 7th massacre in Israel--was merely a temporary upshot reaction to the Gaza War or, if, perhaps it was a much larger phenomenon that had taken on a life of its own.

Today, three months into a tenuous ceasefire, we look at the past 27 months since the war began, the state of antisemitism today, and where we can expect it to go in the years to come.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and David Bernstein discuss how Jew Hatred has evolved from the Woke Left to the Woke Right and what we might expect to see in 2026 and beyond.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that sympathy for Gaza is an excuse for Jew Hatred, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the plague of antisemitism and how it has negatively affected everyone across the globe, Jewish or otherwise.

Hosted by Shana Meyerson, The Yoga of War Podcast: Fighting for Israel & The Jewish People exists in the complex space where spiritual principle meets stark reality. This podcast explores the profound moral and ethical questions surrounding the Israel-Gaza War, specifically through a pro-Israel lens, while being grounded in the ancient philosophy of yoga. The central, challenging tension is between the yogic tenet of Ahimsa-non-violence-and the duty to defend one’s community as discussed in texts like the Bhagavad Gita. Each episode features conversations with a diverse range of voices, from activists and thinkers to community leaders, who share their insights and personal reckonings with this conflict. Listeners will hear nuanced discussions that don’t shy away from the tragedy of war but instead seek to understand the justification and heavy responsibility of a defensive fight. It’s a series for those grappling with how to hold space for peace and spiritual non-violence while confronting the necessity of standing for Israel and Jewish peoplehood in a time of crisis. The dialogue in this podcast is intentionally focused, offering perspective and depth on current events filtered through enduring principles of faith, politics, and human dignity.
