Every once in a while, Leadel is proud to present something new and exciting. This week it's the first episode of a podcast you can listen to right now that we call "Mensch," in a nod to European Jewry's old lingua franca, Yiddish. There is certainly more to come, so stay tuned. In this show, we ran the gamut from the serious to the fluffy to give you insights, entertainment and more.

Our first guest was Professor Harry Jeannot (Zvi) Lipkin, a world-renowned authority on particle physics who will be talking with us about his story. Zvi is a recent recipient of the prestigious Emet Prize, which is awarded by the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem. In 1957, Lipkin co-founded a satirical scientific magazine called the Journal of Irreproducible Results. In a more serious note, he has also been at the forefront of nuclear research in the Holy Land.

We also chatted with Abby Wallach, co-CEO of a cool venture called Beautifulstranger.TV, which is a really remarkable fashion website in which real people are photographed and interviewed on the street, so the internet shopper like you or me can see and hear exactly where to buy what they're wearing. That should give all the voyeurs out there something to be interested in.

How do you mix rock'n'roll with Judaism? And who says you can't mix them, anyway? Well, as the frontman for an unusual rock band called "Shlock Rock," musician and educator Lenny Solomon believes he has found the holy formula that unites guitar solos and Torah scrolls. We found out what that formula is.
