ULTRA ORTHODOX: Famous Hasidic Comedian Gets Outed & Ostracized then Goes Viral (ft. Leah Forster)

Growing up in an Ultra Orthodox Hasidic family, Leah Forster always felt silenced. Ab*sed at the hands of her father, she began to turn pain into comedy. Later on, performing for Jewish female only crowds, Leah crossed boundaries within her community and became famous. Things took a dark turn when she was outed on social media and then fired on the spot from her teaching job of 13 years. When comedy clubs/restaurants were forced to ban her from performing, she took to social media and went viral. She lost her relationship with her mother, and never regained a relationship with her father. Leah recounts her story and the details of growing up in a world of arranged marriages and repression.
