In this first episode of Beyond the Uniform, we sit down with Cameron, an American who moved to Israel to serve as a lone soldier. He shares what led him to leave home, join a special unit in the IDF, and how everything changed on the morning of October 7th. Cameron was on guard duty at 6 a.m. when the attack began. He fought terrorists, lost friends, and lived through one of the darkest days in Israel’s history. This is his story—told not by the media, but by the person who lived it.

On this episode of RAW, I speak with Yossi Klein Halevi—author, historian, and public intellectual whose voice is vital in conversations about Israel, Jewish identity, and moral complexity in times of crisis.
Yossi was born in Brooklyn to a family of Holocaust survivors. His father, a Hungarian Jew, survived the war as a teenager by hiding for months in a frozen ditch in the forests of Transylvania—a story that shaped Yossi’s worldview and sense of Jewish responsibility.
He moved to Israel in 1982 and is now a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. His acclaimed books include Like Dreamers, about the paratroopers who reunited Jerusalem in 1967, and Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, a courageous effort to bridge one of today’s most painful divides.
We talk about the current war and what it reveals—about Israeli society, leadership, and the nation’s soul. We explore how the shadow of the Holocaust continues to shape Yossi’s view of the Jewish state, and the impossible tensions between survival and conscience.
We also touch on Yossi’s long-standing meditation practice, and how it helps him stay spiritually elevated and emotionally grounded through heartbreak and chaos.
This is a conversation about moral clarity and humility. About fear, grief, memory—and the quiet practices that help us stay human.
