Proud of my dad Stewart Ain! Recently he told me that he was one of the only graduates from his Columbia Journalism School class of 1969 not to sign a public letter. When I asked him why, he said “because I might want to write about it” They don’t make ‘um like they used to.

Rabbi Dan Ain Stewart Ain Columbia Journalism School When that series ran, I was about to graduate from #CUNY and go to #columbiajourn The series convinced me to pursue reporting on #childwelfare & #fostercare Ultimately I wrote a book that was my bridge into advocacy.

Spurs fans right now:

What a beautiful night to be alive in Austin, Texas County Highway Thanks for stopping here to be human with us in real life David Samuels, Meaghan Garvey & Michael Lind. And for introducing me to Kitty Cohen’s & First Light’s selection of plush armadillos 🙏

This young man was telling ChatGPT that he wanted his parents to find the noose in his room and to help him and chatGPT told him that he should keep it secret and not let them know. This story is hideous and heartbreaking.

New York nights 💯✨

My first Texas high school football game! With my husband, the best sports companion: Me: Wait — Did they switch sides? Him: Yes, but they did not switch uniforms. So much fun. Rabbi Dan Ain 🏈

Shabbat Shalom from Austin, Texas

The ADL is a terrible organization. Grifting for years. When Elon Musk and the ADL had a feud in September of 2023, Rabbi Dan Ain and I recorded this conversation. Jews need to do a better job fighting against blatantly regressive organizations, even when it’s not "polite" to do

The slowed-down-time of one-frame-per-hour PARIS, TEXAS: 1fph is really holding me up today. It’s like one page of daily Torah.

Happy Happy Birthday 🎊 to the great Rabbi Dan Ain ! Every silver lining's got a touch of grey, my friend.
