A Baalat Teshuva who lives in the Old City, her faith and her Zionism are deeply woven into the work she does. Kim and I met years ago during a very different chapter of my life. I was rebuilding, in a place that felt uncertain. Our paths crossed quietly back then. Sitting across from her now — both of us still here, both still choosing Israel — felt deeply full circle. In this episode, we go beyond property. We talk about what it means to be Jewish right now. The rise in antisemitism. The instability so many Jews are feeling around the world. Kim speaks passionately about why she believes Jews shouldn’t wait until they are forced into difficult decisions. If you can come to Israel — or at least anchor yourself here — do it from strength, not from fear. We talk about her journey becoming religious, her life inside the walls of the Old City, and why helping Jews build homes in Israel feels to her like part of something much bigger than business. This episode is about roots, responsibility, and choosing to build your future in the Jewish homeland.

Hebrew was spoken at home and Israel was never an idea — it was family. In this episode we go beyond the stage to meet the person behind the music — his journey, his roots, and what brought him to build his life here. We talk about growing up in a musical home, his experience in Hi-Five, and what it’s like to live a creative life in Israel — the energy of performing, the joy of connecting with audiences, and the gratitude he feels doing what he loves. Michael also shares about his advocacy for Israel and how, for him, music and values are deeply connected. We touch briefly on Kochav HaBa, but the focus is the human story — creativity, identity, and staying true to yourself. 👉If you’re into real, thoughtful conversations about Israel, community, and the people behind movements that matter — stick around, subscribe, and join me here on The Dayna Show.

This conversation moves through spirituality, the soul, and the kind of transformation that doesn’t happen overnight… but changes everything. Not just what you believe — but who you become. Akiva shares what it feels like to search for answers, to find truth in Judaism, and to step into a new identity with your whole heart. We explore belonging, acceptance in the Jewish community, the pull toward building a life in Israel, and what it means to finally feel aligned — spiritually, emotionally, and deeply inside yourself. And woven through the episode is his art — because when a person feels more complete, creativity doesn’t disappear. It becomes clearer. More honest. More alive.

Over the years, Vlad has lived the sport from every angle — as an athlete, a seasoned competitor who has stepped onto the competition floor multiple times, and today as a CrossFit Level 3 coach. Known for his positivity, constant smile, and calm professionalism, he brings experience without ego. Through online coaching, community-building competitions, and his STOIX Podcast, Vlad continues to help strengthen and connect the Israeli CrossFit community. Because CrossFit once played a meaningful role in my own life, this conversation felt personal. Together, we reflect on growth — of the sport, the community, and ourselves — and on how our relationship with strength evolves over time. 👉If you’re into real, thoughtful conversations about Israel, community, and the people behind movements that matter — stick around, subscribe, and join me here on The Dayna Show.

In this episode, we talk about her secular upbringing, the anti-Jewish ideas she was exposed to from a young age, and what led her to question and reject those narratives. The conversation expands into the bigger issues of antisemitism, why Jews are targeted, how hostility toward Israel is shaped, and the role ideology plays in all of it. Rawan shares how her view of Israel changed, why unity within Israeli society matters, and speaks openly about identity, standing publicly for what you believe in, and her ongoing journey toward Judaism and conversion. She does so with conviction, courage, and an unapologetic honesty — qualities that, to me, embody a true Eshet Chayil, (Woman of Valor).  🔔Subscribe for real conversations with people who live their truth and stand by it.

The Dayna Show returns with an episode that brings Jewish history out of books and into the real world. My guest is Josh A, an Israeli antique collector with a strong presence on social media, where he shares rare artifacts from across Jewish history — coins, maps, inscriptions, and objects from different time periods. Through what he collects and presents, Josh offers tangible proof of Jewish life and continuity in the Land of Israel, paired with deep historical knowledge and historical context. With Hanukkah having just passed, this conversation touches on the Hashmonaim (Hasmonean) period, ancient life in this region, and why Jewish history still matters today — especially at a time when facts are questioned and antisemitism is rising. Thoughtful, fascinating, and grounding, this is a conversation I truly loved.   🔗 Explore Josh A’s work and follow him here: ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@josh_history 🌐 All links & social media: https://j0sh.bio/   ☕️ Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/thedaynashow  
Beatie Deutsch is an ultra-Orthodox marathon runner and elite athlete representing Israel — someone who has crossed finish lines most of us can’t imagine, and pushed herself far beyond what’s expected or conventional. In this episode of The Dayna Show, I sit down with Beatie Deutsch for a conversation that goes far beyond athletic performance. Yes, we talk about elite sport, discipline, and what it takes to compete — and win — at the highest levels. But this episode is really about values, identity, and purpose. We speak openly about Beatie’s faith in God, how her relationship with faith has evolved throughout her athletic journey, and the role belief plays when the physical and mental demands become overwhelming. She shares what it truly means to represent Israel on the global stage — not just as an athlete, but as someone carrying responsibility, pride, and meaning. We also talk about how sport unexpectedly turned her into an advocate for Israel — how running, competition, and visibility gave her a voice, and how she chooses to use it with integrity and courage. This conversation is about more than running. It’s about values and priorities. Faith and resilience. And choosing excellence without compromising who you are or what you stand for.   🎬 Watch Beatie’s documentary Marathon Mom: 👉 https://themarathonmother.com/ Connect with Beatie Deutsch: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/marathonmother 👉 https://www.facebook.com/share/1A7iNT5rna/   If this episode resonates with you, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share! ☕️ Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/thedaynashow  
Amir Hetsroni is an Israeli media scholar and former professor of communications, as well as a novelist, stand-up comedian, and provocative social-media commentator. He is one of the most controversial public figures in Israel today — outspoken, unfiltered, and constantly pushing boundaries. People know the clips, the statements, the outrage — but almost no one knows the person behind all of it. In this episode, I wanted to understand not what he says, but why he says it. Where did this persona come from? What shaped the anger, the humor, the need to provoke? This is not about justifying him or defending his opinions. It’s about curiosity. It’s about understanding the psychology, the story, and the human motivations behind someone who has become a national lightning rod. You may feel the same way about him when you finish watching — and that’s completely fine. But for the next hour, we’re going deeper than headlines. Curiosity isn’t agreement. It’s simply the courage to ask, why is this person the way they are? 🎙️ The Dayna Show — Real people. Real identity.

This episode feels like standing on the edge of a cliff… and jumping. My first solo episode — no guests to lean on, no one to share the frame. Just me. My story. My voice. I was scared. I didn’t feel ready. But I did it anyway — because that’s who I’m becoming. These 8 truths pulled me through the hardest moments of my life. And if they reach you at the right moment… maybe they’ll pull you through something too. ❤️ 👇 Comment which truth resonates most — I’d love to hear from you.

Alon Davidi is the mayor of Sderot — a city less than a kilometer from Gaza that has served as Israel’s shield, absorbing years of rocket fire and protecting the center of the country. In this episode, he reflects on the responsibility of leading such a significant and vulnerable place, the commitment he feels to every resident, and the love he has for a community that continues to show extraordinary resilience. We talk about his personal experience on October 7th, how those events reshaped his trust in the army and the government, and what it truly means to make decisions when your city is the buffer between Israel and its enemies. This conversation reveals the human side of a leader navigating war, loyalty, loss, and the weight of protecting people who look to him every single day. 👉 Subscribe, like, and follow for more meaningful conversations.

Since the war began, he’s become a voice of truth and courage, using humor, intelligence, and authenticity to defend Israel and remind the world who we are. Behind the laughter is a man of deep values, humility, and heart — someone who carries light wherever he goes. We talked about identity, belonging, and the unshakable Israeli spirit — that rare blend of humor, heartbreak, and hope that defines this place and its people.

Miriam Fuld is the widow of Ari Fuld (Z”L) — an Israeli hero who was stabbed and murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in 2018. Since that day, Miriam’s life has been defined by courage, grief, and an unrelenting pursuit of justice. In this conversation, we talk about what it means to live as the family of a terror victim — the trauma, the isolation, and the long fight for accountability. Miriam opens up about her lawsuits against the Palestinian Authority, both in Israel and in the United States Supreme Court, and what justice really means to her now. We also talk about the legacy Ari left behind — his voice, his values, and the work that continues through the Ari Fuld Project, inspiring thousands to stand for Israel and for truth. This episode is about faith after loss, courage after tragedy, and one woman’s mission to keep light alive in the face of darkness. 🎙️ Episode 53 | English Podcast in Israel 👇 Watch the full conversation on my channel.   Continue Ari Fuld's Legacy: https://arifuld.org/ https://arifuld.org/israelshieldmagazine/    Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/thedaynashow  
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Israel’s Special Envoy for Trade & Innovation, former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, and co-founder of the UAE–Israel Business Council, joins me for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about leadership, faith, and the future of Israel. As one of the driving forces behind the Abraham Accords, Fleur has worked tirelessly to build bridges between Israel and the Arab world, believing that real peace begins with understanding. We talk about how the events of October 7 deepened her advocacy, the importance of Judea and Samaria as Israel’s historic heartland, and how she continues to stand firm against global antisemitism and the distortion of Israel’s image on the world stage. Beyond politics, Fleur is passionate about empowering women — co-founding initiatives that help women enter public life and use their voices to lead with confidence and purpose. Her warmth, intelligence, and authenticity shine through, reminding us that true leadership is not about power, but about courage, integrity, and love for this country. 👉 Don’t forget to like, follow, and subscribe for more inspiring conversations that matter!   Connect with Fleur Hassan Nahoum: Website:  https://www.fleurhassann.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fleurhassann Youtube: https://youtube.com/@fleurhassan-nahoum?si=Sq5ujn8LniJFSk58   Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/thedaynashow        
At just 23, Yonatan Shalev has become one of the most powerful new voices in Israel’s public sphere. A reservist in the IDF’s Maglan unit and founder of כתף אל כתף (Shoulder to Shoulder), Yonatan represents a generation that refuses to accept a divided burden — where some fight and others are exempt. In this episode, we talk about equality, courage, and moral responsibility — what it means to love your country enough to demand more from it. Yonatan opens up about his journey from soldier to activist, the protests that got him ejected from the Knesset, and the vision that drives him: an Israel where everyone serves, and everyone belongs. This is a conversation about leadership born from pain, unity forged through action, and the question we must all ask ourselves: What kind of country do we want to build — and who will carry it on their shoulders?

Jonathan Pollard is a former U.S. Naval intelligence analyst who, in the 1980s, passed classified information to Israel — America’s closest ally — believing the Jewish state had a right to defend itself. He claimed the United States was withholding intelligence that could save Israeli lives. For that act, he was arrested, convicted of espionage, and sentenced to life in prison — the harshest punishment ever imposed on anyone who spied for an ally nation. To the American intelligence world, he was a traitor. To many Israelis, he was a hero — a man who sacrificed his freedom out of love and loyalty to his people. His story still raises questions about national security, justice, and the price of moral conviction. For me, this episode carries a different kind of weight. Jonathan Pollard was a household name in my family. My late father fought for his release — driven by a deep sense of Jewish loyalty and the belief that one man’s devotion to Israel should never be forgotten. Sitting across from Pollard decades later, I could feel my father’s presence in the room. This wasn’t just a conversation about history — it was a bridge between generations, between conviction and love of country. A rare and unfiltered look at one of the most controversial figures in modern intelligence history — and the man behind the headlines.

Khalifa Khalifa is a groundbreaking Druze voice in Israel — a philosopher, journalist, and host of the Khalifa Podcast. His journey weaves together military service, philosophy, history, and activism with a mission to open doors of awareness for himself, his community, and Israel. In this episode, we dive into his extraordinary path: from personal turning points to family activism, from questions of identity and resilience to the responsibility of shaping Israel’s future. We also look beyond Israel’s borders — to what is happening now to the Druze community in Suwayda, Syria — and explore how their struggle connects with Israel and our responsibility to stand with them. 🎧 A conversation about belonging, courage, and solidarity — and why Khalifa believes the Druze story is not only personal, but deeply tied to Israel’s collective destiny. 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more inspiring voices and real conversations.

Rabbi Yehuda HaKohen is an educator and activist who believes Zionism is no longer enough. He argues that Israel has reached the stage where it must grow beyond old frameworks and learn how to truly govern itself in today’s reality. For Yehuda, sovereignty means more than survival. It means taking full responsibility for the kind of society we’re building, refusing to let the West dictate our future, and engaging Palestinians directly in shaping a shared destiny. In this episode, he shares a vision of independence rooted in Jewish history yet focused on the present — a call to move past borrowed scripts and step into our own story with clarity and courage. 🎧 A bold and thought-provoking conversation about responsibility, peoplehood, and the next chapter of Jewish history. 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe — for more great conversations.

Tal Oran, The Traveling Clatt, exposes antisemitism, debunks false narratives, and advocates for Israel online. Tal Oran, known to the world as The Traveling Clatt, once lived to capture the beauty of faraway places. Today, his journey looks very different. After October 7th, he stepped away from the easy life of travel vlogging and into the fire of advocacy — taking on the Arab narrative, exposing the roots of antisemitism, and fighting the flood of misinformation about Israel. In this conversation, Tal opens up about the personal cost of speaking out, the responsibility he feels as a Mizrahi Jew, and the impact of building hard, often tense, yet deeply important conversations online. He also shares his vision for building a relationship with our Arab cousins — who, he believes, were once Jews themselves — and why that connection is central to creating a different kind of future. What started as a career in entertainment has become a mission of truth — one that demands courage, clarity, and conviction. This is not just the story of a content creator who changed course. It is the story of a young man who chose to stand for his people when it mattered most — and who is making a truly significant difference in the Jewish and Israeli narrative. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share this episode to support independent voices.
