Issue of August 7, 2009 / 17 Av 5769

The Five Towns-based medical clowning troupe Lev Leytzan is busy in Budapest this week, teasing smiles from the elderly and infirm on a 10-day mission of mercy to Europe. Last Thursday the teen and young adult clowns, led by the group’s founder, Woodmere psychologist Dr. Neal Goldberg, appeared on the CBS Early Show on the CBS Television Network. This Monday they were profiled on local television, in a piece by WCBS-TV reporter Cindy Hsu.
