Rawan Osman is a Syrian-born activist who brings lived experience and clarity to difficult conversations about antisemitism, Israel, and Jewish identity.
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).

Rina Kreiner is a psychotherapist specializing in expressive arts therapy, parenting guidance, and couples counseling, with decades of experience working with families and adults in Israel. We’ve known each other for many years, and in this episode we sit down for an open, thoughtful conversation about parenting cross different stages of life, relationships, divorce, and the emotional patterns that shape who we become. We talk about raising children, learning to let go, staying connected without losing yourself, and the long-term impact of family dynamics.
We also touch briefly on Rina’s current focus today — working primarily with adult women navigating emotionally draining or confusing relationships, and supporting them in rebuilding trust in themselves.

Josh A | The Presence of History | Episode 59

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.

Beatie Deutsch | Faith, Family & Finish Lines | Episode 58

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.

Amir Hetsroni | Beyond Hate | Episode 57

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?

Dayna Kaplan | 8 Truths - The Solo Episode | Episode 56

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.

Alon Davidi | The Heart of Sderot | Episode 55

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.

Miriam Fuld | Strength After Tragedy | Episode 53

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.

Fleur Hassan Nahoum | Stronger Than Ever: The Mind & Spirit of Israel | Ep 52

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.
