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.

Eden Shoshani | The Heart of Hatikva: Shadows and Sunlight | Ep41
Eden Shoshani is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to rise after being shattered. In January 2020, her brother Dean Shoshani, and his girlfriend, Stav Harari, lost their lives in a tragic elevator incident in Tel Aviv’s Hatikva neighborhood — a moment that changed everything. What followed could have been only silence, but Eden chose a different path. Through writing, performing, and the creation of "Prologue – An Exhibition of Words", she transformed unimaginable grief into something living — a body of work that breathes love, memory, and resilience. This conversation is about the courage it takes to keep going, the beauty that can grow in the wake of loss, and the universal truth that we are all capable of rebuilding. Eden’s journey is not only her own — it is an invitation to anyone who has ever faced the darkness to believe that light is still possible.

Inon Dan Kehati | Prophecy in Motion | Ep40
Inon Dan Kehati is a Middle Eastern scholar, Zionist thinker, and founder of The Home—an initiative for Jewish–Arab partnership rooted in truth, not illusion.
He doesn’t play by the rules of political correctness.
Armed with a deep understanding of both Jewish and Islamic texts, Inon steps straight into the ideological minefields of the Israeli–Arab conflict—unpacking lies, exposing contradictions, and challenging the narratives that keep us stuck. His approach is not about appeasement or shallow agreement. It’s about truth. Clarity. And the courage to lead with both.
Through respectful but uncompromising dialogue—on the ground, online, and face-to-face with ideological opponents—Inon calls for a new kind of leadership. One that understands sovereignty as more than just flags and borders. For him, Jewish return to the land is only the beginning. The ultimate fulfillment lies in embracing our national and spiritual mission—one that includes the rebuilding of the Temple and the realization of a shared, prophetic future.

Ep 39 | Eitan and Leora Ashman | Koach Eitan
When Eitan Ashman suffered a sudden stroke, he lost his memory, his speech, and the shared language of his life. But through the silence, something profound remained: the unshakable bond between him and his wife, Leora.
In this deeply moving episode of The Dayna Show, Leora and Eitan open up about love without words, rediscovering identity, and holding on to one another through the unknown. Together, they founded Koach Eitan—a community initiative that brings visibility, advocacy, and connection to those living with aphasia and brain injury. Their journey is one of resilience, family, and the kind of partnership that redefines what it means to truly love—and to be loved.

Ep 38 | Joseph Gitler | Robin Hood
Joseph Gitler is the kind of person who sees something wrong — and does something about it. While most people ignored the painful gap between wasted food and empty plates, Joseph couldn’t look away. That moment of clarity led to the creation of Leket Israel, now rescuing millions of meals a year and delivering them to people who need them most.
In this episode of The Dayna Show, Joseph shares how one simple idea — that no one should go hungry while good food is thrown away — became a national movement. It’s a story about compassion, action, and the quiet power of choosing to care. If you’ve ever doubted that one person can make a difference — listen to this.

Ep 37 | Shlomit Erdynast | Out and Proud for Israel
Shlomit Erdynast is a woman who lives between worlds — and refuses to choose just one. She is Orthodox. She is queer. She is a Zionist. And she is unapologetically herself.
In this moving and deeply honest episode of The Dayna Show, Shlomit shares her story for the very first time — not just as a voice online, but as a woman who has fought hard to live with integrity, even when it meant standing alone. She speaks about her faith, her identity, and her fierce love for Israel — and the pain, pushback, and purpose that come with living a life that challenges expectations.
We talk about the loneliness of being different, the strength it takes to hold on to belief when you no longer fit the mold, and the quiet, defiant joy of building a life that feels true. This conversation is brave. It's vulnerable. It's full of heart.
If you've ever struggled to feel whole in a world that tries to divide you, this episode is for you.
