Yes, SW-B from Weehawken, that was Rabbi Dan in Washington Square Park and it is part of the amazing installation from The New Shul. I just checked out their website - a great group of folks doing some amazing work!

Stopped by the House of Awe to meet this Rabbi Dan, and truthfully it was the most honest and candid discussion I can recall having about faith in my life. Rabbi Dan you are a welcomed breath of fresh air!!!

I agree with Herb. I am also a regular listener and I stopped by the House of Awe and Repentance Cafe after work and met Rabbi Dan. My girlfriend is Jewish and I'm not. Couldn't have felt more comfortable, challenged, and inspired by this powerhouse of a human being.

Hey Brian,
I listened to your show and then headed over to the Cafe this p.m. to meet Rabbi Dan in person. He is truly amazing -- insightful, auuthentic, and sincere. Please have him back on your show again so your loyal listeners (like me) can have the pleasure of you and him on a one to one. The interview you did this morning left me wanting more.
All the best,
Herb

Rabbi Dan Ain is a rabbi for all ages, all seasons, and for the 21st century. He is smart, charismatic, and compassionate. Take this opportunity to stop by and chat with my favorite rabbi this week!!!

I was in Washington Square Park y'day and saw this guy actually standing on a soap box talking about rabbi's. Is that part of this installation?!

Learning about reinventing rituals can be very interesting, maybe even inspiring, but can't compare to actually experiencing it in the here and now. Sounds like the House of Awe and Repentance Cafe is an exciting and enlivening way to be Jewish!
