hen you're a wealthy CEO
of an international corpo-
ration the sky is the limit.
However, certain experiences are still
uncommon for a CEO. Being nominat-
ed for an Emmy Award is one of them.
Sheldon Yellen,
the Jewish CEO of
Birmingham-based
BELFOR Property
Restoration, said he

"I put my Judaism aside for years.

twice to send two of my brothers to
