iewers of the Feb. 27 pre-
miere of the latest season of
The Apprentice on NBC did-
n't see any yarmulkes, but they did
witness the debut of two Orthodox
Jews on the reality television series.
Daniel (Dan) Brody, 31, and Lee
Bienstock, 22, both are members of
the "Gold Rush" team on the show
featuring Donald Trump. Their
appearance on the 16-week show, in
which young people try to win a job
with the headline-grabbing real-
estate mogul through a series of
business tryouts, has the Orthodox
world abuzz.
Discussion about Brody and
Bienstock has reached a fever pitch in
many areas, with
many won-
dering how
their
Orthodox
Judaism
will come
into play in
the series.
"It's inter-
esting to con-
sider how
the

show adapted to Dan's Sabbath
observance," said blogger Greg
Gershman.
No mention was made of the con-
testants' Orthodoxy in the first
episode, so no one outside the show
— whose cast is committed to iron-
clad, non-disclosure agreements —
knows how, and if at all, their reli-
gious identities will be portrayed.
Of particular interest is how the
show will portray the High Holidays,
given that filming started before
Rosh Hashanah and concluded at
some point after Sukkot.
Rumors persist that a separate
kosher George Foreman Grill was
kept in the luxurious apartment in
Trump Tower occupied by the con-
testants during filming.
But people close to Brody and
Bienstock express confidence that
viewers won't see them choosing suc-
cess on The Apprentice over their reli-
gious values.

Committed Jews
"All I know is Daniel would in no way
compromise the holidays or Shabbos
for the show," said Brody's brother
Steven, adding, "How the show's
going to portray that or ignore that, I
don't know."
Bienstock's rabbi, Kenneth Hain of
Congregation Beth Shalom on New
York's Long Island, wasn't
very familiar with The
Apprentice; Hain said
that "even without
this acknowledg-
ment, he's certainly
regarded as one of
the fine young men
in our community,"
adding, "We wish
him all the success
in the world, and
we're particularly
proud of the fact
that he is a corn-
