Stars of David

March 02, 2006 - Michael Elkin, Arts & Entertainment Editor

What better time to welcome a new month known for roaring its way in than by giving a shout out to a woman whose mouth would put Leo the Lion to shame. Who else but … Heidi Bressler? The local Jewish minx who mixed it up with other aspirants for "The Apprentice" title during the show's first season is back where she belongs - in the Trump organization. Nothing-to-hide Heidi - a personal "Stars" favorite - is reportedly the new advertising director for the Donald's Trump World mag, where the ads speak louder than words - not counting Heidi's pipes, of course. … Order in the court - and here they are, lawyers, one after another: Gary A. Krimstock, partner in the firm of Fineman, Krekstein, & Harris, recently addressed a gathering of the Society Hill Towers Community PAC on real estate issues in the city. … The Supremes: Langhorne émigré Brad E. Coren, now soaking up the sun and success in Florida as a major attorney, has been granted admission to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, D.C. The 31-year-old works so hard, to him an early-bird special means 11 p.m. … Okay, that's the attorney news; interested in some doctors? Thought you'd never ask: George C. Newman, M.D., Ph.D., is the new chairman, department of neurosensory sciences,º at Albert Einstein Medical Center, with a mission to expand services for the whole Einstein Healthcare Network. … Lawyers, doctors - what's the next logical step? Cantors! (Bet you thought "Stars" would say accountants.) It's the Morton Tabas Humanitarian Award for Cantor David F. Tilman of Beth Sholom Congregation, whose achievements in the music world extend way beyond his bimah in Elkins Park. Tilman, whose column "In Record Time" graces this newspaper, will be honored with a special dinner and presentation at Beth Sholom on March 24. Sure, it's been a great career, but if the Mets had ever needed a singing outfielder who could lay tefillin and lay down a bunt … Okay, Samantha Cramer, what's your point? Oh, more than a thousand of 'em! The Akiba Hebrew Academy junior is celebrating the millennium with 1,000 points of light on the girls' basketball court. After all, records are made to be broken. (Just don't tell that to Tilman.) … While Sam's racking up the score, Akiba's Michael Bihovsky (Class Act of '05) is netting results, too. The 19-year-old from Wynnewood - a frosh at NYU - has released his first album, "Dare to Dream," which it seems he dares to do. More than lending a helping hand are other Akiba students lending their vocals, including Doreen Strauss, Dana Gitlin, Natalie West and Gillie Strauss. Michael's show-biz roots go back decades - well, eight years, anyway. That's when he started his career as Fagin in a Perelman Jewish Day School production of "Oliver!" Now, the recording industry's saying: Consider yourself one of us! At this stage of his career, Michael may have a leg up on P. Diddy, who, after all, didn't go to Akiba. … Remember Mr. Wizard? (Yeah, you probably remember Farfel, too). Anyway, Ken Fink, a modern-day incarnation of science-whiz as cool teacher, will be one of the star entertainers at the Philly Kids Expo on March 25 and March 26, set for the Fort Washington Convention Center. It's no wonder they chose Ken, who's turned science class into a class act; he's also founder of Wondergy, the locally based company that makes science an art at events in schools and community gatherings. Gee, "Stars" hasn't been this hot about a science project since his high school days, when he forgot to turn off the Bunsen burner before he put it in his pocket.
