Rep. Mike Freiberg to Discuss Minnesota State Legislature’s Secular Government Caucus

On Sunday, Oct. 27, Or Emet will host a presentation by Minnesota state Rep. Mike Freiberg, chair of the Minnesota State Legislature’s Secular Government Caucus.

Rep. Mike Freiberg

Freiberg will discuss the caucus’ work to maintain separation of church and state, what moved him to become part of the caucus and any church/state issues that may need to be addressed in the next session.

Freiberg was first elected state representative in 2012, after serving on the Golden Valley City Council for nine years. As a legislator, he has focused on issues related to health care, local government, the environment and election policy. He has authored many pieces of legislation that have become law.

An attorney for a nonprofit organization committed to improving public health, Freiberg also has served as an adjunct law professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law and the University of St. Thomas School of Law.

Those who cannot attend in person may join over Zoom. Please register in advance here. 

The Sunday adult programs are free and open to the public and meet concurrently with the Jewish Cultural Sunday School.
