You could say that Or Taicher is a musician but he is so much more than that.

Or Taicher is a creator, filmmaker, creative director, & visionary entrepreneur whose work focuses on using art, music, and storytelling to create large scale human connection.

He is the founder & Artistic Creative Director of Koolulam, the global immersive singing experience that has brought hundreds of thousands of people together to sing in harmony.

Through his social impact films, national campaigns, and artistic leadership, Or has become a leading voice in shaping creative experiences that inspire empathy, healing, and collective hope around the world.

Koolulam released their first YouTube video, Or Gadol, in 2017 with a musical production that mesmerized and mystified the world. Two years later, they smashed the internet with their viral production of Matisyahu’s One Day, sung in harmony in Hebrew, Arabic and English. A perfect musical depiction of Am Yisrael in one song.

I was blessed to be a part of Koolulam’s singing experience with 20,000 of my closest friends at the AIPAC Policy Conference in 2019. When I reached out to Or to see if he would join the Yoga of War Podcast, we hopped on a Zoom call to simply connect. I had never met him in person and had no idea that there is no such thing as a simple connection with this incredible human being.

What started as a simple meet-and-greet, metamorphosized very quickly into—well, this podcast episode. The conversation was too profound not to share and so, today, I’m going to let you in on our private, candid, and completely unscripted discussion.

I hope you are as inspired as I was to listen to Or’s heart speak out loud.

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.
