Yonatan Shalev | Strong Shoulders - Israel's Future | Ep 51

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 | Loyalty, Betrayal, and Sacrifice - In His Own Words | Ep 50

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.

Tal Oran "The Travelling Clatt" | Voices from the East | Ep46

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.

Melissa Lantsman | Courage Without Compromise | Ep44

Melissa Lantsman is the Deputy Leader of Canada’s Conservative Party and one of the strongest voices in North America for Israel and the Jewish people.
In this episode of The Dayna Show, we talk about the climate in Canada since October 7 — the painful rise in antisemitism, the sense of insecurity felt by Jewish Canadians, and how the current government has fallen short in protecting its citizens. Melissa shares what it means to lead with conviction in these times, and why her perspective from the opposition is so vital right now.
For me, as someone born in Canada and now living in Israel, this conversation touched a deep place. It was both personal and political — a chance to connect the two worlds I love, and to highlight a leader whose courage and clarity reach far beyond her own community.

Gabriel Boxer (The Kosher Guru) | Beyond Kosher: A Voice for Israel | Ep 43

In this episode, I sit down with Gabriel Boxer — known as The Kosher Guru — to talk about unity, Jewish leadership, and the power of raising a strong voice for our people.
Gabriel is one of the most recognized Jewish food personalities in America. Through his Kosher Guru platform, he has built a wide following as a food and lifestyle influencer, showcasing the richness of kosher culture and Jewish life. Yet beyond food, Gabriel has become a powerful Jewish voice, using his influence to advocate for Israel, stand up for the Jewish community, and fight tirelessly against antisemitism.
Our conversation is about much more than advocacy. It’s about what it means to show up for the Jewish people in today’s world, the importance of unity, and the responsibility that comes with having a platform and a voice. Gabriel’s passion is contagious, and his dedication to Am Yisrael is a reminder of how much one person can inspire, uplift, and protect an entire community.
