mitted Jew!'
Though Brody's biography on the
NBC Web site details his business
experience — including owning the
bakery Grandma's Cookie Jar, which
serves the community of his alma
mater, Yeshiva University — and
reveals he is "passionate about religion
and his family:' his
only identification on
the show was as hav-
ing "two boys in my
family."
Those boys, Gavriel,
6, and Natan, 4, live
with Brody and his
wife, Amy, in New
Milford, N.J. Brody •
was the first teammate
chosen on "Gold
Rush" and the second
overall; when his
team's leader was
asked by Donald
Trump on the show
why he'd chosen
Brody, the leader
replied: "Because he's
a dad."
In New Milford, Brody and family
belong to Keter Torah Synagogue, and
Brody regularly attends a class with
the rabbi, Shalom Baum. Before the
Feb. 27 premiere, the class met at the
local pizzeria, E.J.'s, where the commu-
nity was invited to watch the episode.
Brody has a bit of experience in
show business, according to his broth-
er.
"He's done stand-up in some of the
different nightclubs in New York;'
Steven said, adding that Brody's also
done some work on soap operas.
Steven describes his brother as a sort
of jack-of-all-trades who is "successful
in whatever he chooses to do!' That
seems to have included quite a lot,
from designing and building his home
kitchen to launching a successful
kosher cookie-dough line.
But that showmanship wasn't
always around. Steven Brody recalled
that at Daniel Brody's bar mitzvah, he
suddenly went missing before it came
time for him to ascend to the dais.
"Everyone's in shul; shul's about to
start; we can't find him;' Steven Brody
recalled. When his brother eventually
was discovered, his family realized he
had stage fright.
Nevertheless, Daniel Brody eventu-
ally came out and read Torah beauti-
fully, his brother said.

Well Trained
Working as a business analyst after

graduating from Cornell, Bienstock, at
22 the youngest member of the cast,
has less in his Web biography, but his
friends say what's there is strong.
Simone Greenbaum, a student with
Bienstock at Cornell, recalled in an
interview that on the occasion of a
grandparent's yahrtzeit, which she'd
been hoping
to spend with
her family,
there was "a
typical Cornell
snow blizzard"
with no
chance for her
flight home to
make it.
Bienstock,
"without even
batting an eye,
said, `I'll take
you home:"
Greenbaum
recalled,
adding that
Bienstock
explained,
"You know, I'm a second-semester
senior; I can afford to miss one or two
days of school, but you can't miss
this:'
The trip didn't harm his grade,
though: Bienstock graduated Cornell
with a 4.0 grade-point-average, some-
thing that he feels he was well trained
for in his years at the Orthodox
Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns
and Rockaway.
Whether other students' grades will
be affected by Bienstock's appearances
remains to be seen, but Greenbaum
and a fellow student, Eli Magid, said
there are plenty of viewing parties at
the Cornell campus.
Bienstock's choice to stick with
what he felt was right led the team
organizer to bring him into the famed
Apprentice boardroom on the season
premiere, where he could have heard
Trump's famous phrase, "You're fired:'
directed at him.
For the moment, though, Bienstock,
like Brody, has avoided termination.
Which is something his rabbi pre-
dicted. Before the premiere, Rabbi
Hain said Bienstock "can hold his
own with anyone, including Mr.
Trump."

The Apprentice airs 9 p.m.
Mondays on NBC.
