The small crowd that braved the rain on Wednesday, April 1st, enjoyed an inpsirational talk by Dan Stein, CAI member and Assistant US Attorney, Southern District of New York. Dan was our featured speaker at our second networking night, presented in conjunction with the synagogue's Employment Steering Committee.
Dan, pictured at right with committee chair Bobby Epstein, talked about why he took his legal expertise into public service and about some of the high-profile cases he has prosecuted. He explained that attorneys who work for the Department of Justice have a true passion for law and for the pursuit of truth. After providing some synopses of his case history, Dan spoke about the value of being a Federal employee and offered some resources for job-seekers interested in government work.
A Q&A followed, which inspired a very lively discussion of some of the most highly publicized stories of the day (Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress's gun possession and Marth
a Stewart's insider trading, for example) and our speaker came through with a strong and candid perspective on the matters. The evening concluded with 30-second elevator pitches by attendees, and informal networking over light snacks.

Committee member Ken Levitt also deserves applause.
