Am Yisrael Chai!

The Nation of Israel Lives!

It's become an anthem, a greeting, a prayer, an affirmation, a war call. And it is all of that and none of that, at once. As Rabbi Leor Sinai says, "Am Yisrael Chai is not a slogan. It's a way of life."

So what does it really mean?

What is it about these three words that has stirred the soul of a nation?

Well, the answer is in the question: Am Yisrael is an entire nation with just one soul. A nation that beats--and bleeds--with one heart.

But have we forgotten?

What will it take to remind the Jews of Israel and the Diaspora that, in fact, we are all one? And imagine the nation that will rise again when we do.

In this LIVE conversation, Shana Meyerson of YOGAthletica and Rabbi Leor Sinai discuss Zionism, the love of Israel, and the Jewish people, both now and forever more.

If you are a yogi or yogini who thinks that Zionism is a bad thing, you owe it to yourself to listen to this discussion about the Jewish soul, Jewish values, and why the State of Israel is so important to the Jewish people's very existence.

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.
