The Apprentice: ‘You can’t find Jewish pastries in a Turkish supermarket!’
Claude Littner slams candidates for 'colossal waste of time' as they hunt down rugelach for Lord Sugar
Francine Wolfisz is the Features Editor for Jewish News.
Going to a Turkish supermarket to find rugelach might just make an already impossible task even harder.
That’s the situation the candidates find themselves in during Wednesday night’s episode of The Apprentice.
Lord Sugar celebrated his 70th birthday earlier this year, and he tasks the candidates with acquiring items to mark some of the milestones of his life and career.
Candidates have one day only to bag nine specific items at the best possible price, before meeting at the House of Lords by 7pm.
While one team wastes precious time looking for Jewish pastries in a Turkish supermarket, the other discovers a Jewish bakery – and even procures a Tottenham Hotspur scarf in the process!
Who this week will end up hearing Lord Sugar’s immortal words, ‘You’re Fired’?
Tune in to find out on Wednesday, 1 November, 9PM on BBC One and BBC One HD

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
