Politics Friday

Power Pair: The rabbi and the politician


Listen Later

Some say religion and politics don’t mix. But they do in the lives of couple Marcia Zimmerman and Frank Hornstein.


Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman is the senior rabbi at Temple Israel in Minneapolis.   


Frank Hornstein served for 22 years in the Minnesota House of Representatives representing neighborhoods near downtown Minneapolis and Lake of the Isles. He decided not to seek reelection last year.


They have raised three children together and supported each other in their individual callings over 42 years of marriage.


MPR News host Angela Davis continues her Power Pair series with a conversation about faith, politics and the importance of strong relationships — in marriage and community.


Guests:



  • Rabbi Marcia Zimmerman is the senior rabbi at Temple Israel in Minneapolis. 


  • Frank Hornstein served as a DFL representative from District 61A in the Minnesota House of Representatives for 22 years until deciding in 2024 not to seek reelection.
