What happens when an Israeli combat soldier suddenly sees himself in the eyes of the “enemy”?

In this episode, Eva sits down with Rani Oren — educator, founder of Youth of Light, and initiator of the We Are One movement and political party in Israel. Rani shares the moment in the West Bank that shattered his conditioning, opened his heart, and set him on a decades-long path of inner work, meditation, and service.

He tells the story of Youth of Light, where at-risk youth transform discarded wax from restaurant candles into new lights — a powerful metaphor for how love, warmth, and environment can melt trauma and reveal the light within. Rani also shares his bold next step: creating We Are One as a social movement, economic initiative, and political party rooted in oneness, education, and shared humanity across Israelis and Palestinians.

This conversation is for anyone who senses that real change demands both inner transformation and structural courage — and is curious what it looks like to bring spirituality, education, and politics back into one field of action.
