For 50 years, Rab­bi Steven and Sen­a­tor Joyce Fos­ter have been lead­ers in Den­ver, CO, nation­al­ly and inter­na­tion­al­ly through their work on issues of civ­il rights, gay rights, men­tal ill­ness aware­ness, and stricter gun con­trol laws. They have trav­eled to Israel more than 30 times, help­ing emi­grants reset­tle, bring­ing Chris­t­ian min­is­ters and their con­gre­ga­tions on trips, and rais­ing mon­ey for the Jew­ish Fed­er­a­tions of North Amer­i­ca. Through top­ics as diverse as inter­faith mar­riage, legal­ized mar­i­jua­na, han­dling the back­lash when speak­ing out on con­tro­ver­sial issues, and main­tain­ing a strong mar­riage and fam­i­ly in the pub­lic spot­light, their sto­ry chron­i­cles how reli­gion and pol­i­tics can suc­cess­ful­ly mar­ry for the greater good.
