I’m Alla Kaplan—writer, podcaster, truth-teller, and yes, The Jewish Stripper.

This podcast was born from my life, my culture, my struggles, and my refusal to stay silent. I created The Jewish Stripper to explore the messy, layered, and often taboo parts of being a woman—and a human—navigating identity, trauma, sexuality, faith, and survival, with zero sugarcoating. This show isn’t about shock value—it’s about showing up fully for the stories no one else wants to tell out loud. It’s about connection, healing, and humor in the middle of the chaos.

Why The Jewish Stripper?

Because those two words together challenge expectations—and that’s exactly what this podcast does. I embrace contradiction, complexity, and conversation. My Jewish heritage is central to who I am. So is my body. So is my voice. So is the life I’ve lived, and the love I carry for those still trying to figure theirs out.

I speak from experience—real, raw, and lived. As someone who has walked through fire and found the words to talk about it, I’ve learned that vulnerability is not weakness; it’s power. And I bring that power into every episode. Whether I’m unpacking cultural contradictions, diving into emotional truths, or just telling a story that needs to be heard, I do it with honesty and heart.
