Why Are Orthodox Jews Living Like This?!

Israel "Clappy" Clapman has gone viral on buses, in airports, and across WhatsApp. But behind the laughs and loud rants is a deeper story about Jewish life, hustle, and why our communities are drowning in pressure and debt.

In this unforgettable conversation, Clappy shares:

• How he became a Jewish internet sensation (without trying)

• The truth about $10 donuts, Pesach programs, and frum spending

• His top marriage advice

• What it means to raise kids with values, not just vacations

• His 5-job hustle to support his family—and the side hustles you’ve never heard of

Whether you’re laughing, crying, or rethinking your next credit card swipe—this episode will leave you changed.
