Meet Longtime Members Laurel B. Hefty

Interviewed by Lillian Abrams
Written by Steve LaBelle

Laurel Hefty has led an intriguing life’s journey from her early childhood in Racine to her current status as a Temple Beth El congregant living in Albany in Green County.

Along the way, she has witnessed some incredible changes both in her life and in the Temple community in general.

Laurel’s father, Bernard Howards, was from Milwaukee, and her mother, Annette, grew up near the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. They both enlisted in the Marines and met while stationed in San Diego. They married in New York City and moved to Milwaukee, where Bernard sold cars, insurance, and shoes, while Annette stayed home, raising Laurel and her brothers.

Laurel’s maternal grandmother was from Romania but left her religious upbringing behind once in the U.S. and didn’t speak much about her past (although rumor has it she had some connection to gangster Bugsy Siegel!). Annette had to learn a lot about having a Jewish home; she did not know Hebrew, and when she first married, the home included a Christmas tree.

Laurel’s family moved to Madison in 1966, when Laurel was four, and things started to change. Annette became very active in TBE’s Sisterhood, and this interaction with other women became the focus of her social life. She was involved in Sunday School, baked cookies, and made matzah balls. Shabbat candles and wine were set out on Friday nights.

Laurel’s early TBE memories include pinching her fingers in a toy kitchen refrigerator, playing on the stage with the velvet curtains and in the storage area in the social hall, going to Sunday School in a room with sliding walls, and watching her father make shadow figures during Shabbat services as she fell asleep. She also would fall asleep whenever Rabbi Manfred Swarsensky read from the Torah, prompting her parents to apologize for her snoring. Rabbi Swarsensky said that it was okay, and it was probably the best sleep she had all week!

There were some tougher issues during this part of Laurel’s Jewish journey. When the family first arrived in Madison, her father put the mezuzah on the inside door of their house so as not to stand out. There were only five other Jewish students in Laurel’s elementary school, and she recalls being singled out by her second grade teacher, doing “different” crafts or skits during Christmas, and not going on a trip because her perfect attendance as a crossing guard was marred by missing school for Yom Kippur. So Laurel got involved with Temple youth groups and “grew up” at Camp Shalom, feeling empowered by the Jewish environment there. That motivated Laurel to go beyond being confirmed, like some of her peers, and to become a bat mitzvah, with Rabbi Swarsensky officiating. She is still friendly with members of that b’nai mitzvah class.

Laurel admired Rabbi Swarsensky as a leader who was always reaching out to the non-Jewish Madison community, especially through his ties to Edgewood. He was willing to perform interfaith weddings, including for both of her brothers.

Laurel’s interest in the field of education led her to pursue teaching as a career. At 21, Laurel married Bert, in a short outdoor ceremony on a hot day in July. Rabbi Kenneth Roseman officiated, and as he was balancing a wine cup, a microphone, and a prayer book, he sped up his Hebrew as he and everyone began to sweat.

Laurel had two children, Zachary and Melanie, and eventually moved to Albany in Green County, where she is one of three Jews there (that she’s aware of).

It was a priority to come to Madison for her children to attend Hebrew and Religious School, and she met many other congregants through Zachary and Melanie. She also began teaching at TBE as well; Laurel taught 6th grade Religious School for 18 years, emphasizing history, especially its division into “fact, fiction, and faith.” She took pride in being very creative with her students. This included building and destroying a graham cracker ancient temple and reading Chaucer to her students, pointing out some of the antisemitism of his time. She made connections with the Wisconsin Historical Society and other nonprofits.

Her goal was to be a positive influence on her students’ Jewish education and spark their imagination throughout their Midrasha years.

She made lasting connections with her students and her assistants. And sometimes her mother would pop into her classroom on her way to the Temple kitchen.

Through teaching and membership, Laurel got to know both Rabbi Jan Brahms and Rabbi Jonathan Biatch well. Laurel was nervous about carrying the Torah in public, but Rabbi Brahms would always ask her to, and a week before he left, she finally accomplished it. She appreciates Rabbi Biatch’s wonderful communication skills: he can even make fish talk. (It’s an inside joke. He can tell you about it!) She has been grateful to see TBE evolve into a place that is more open, vocal, and socially engaged, and to know that the Madison Jewish community is involved with many social issues and is a prominent voice in civil and human rights.

Laurel cherishes her connection to Madison’s Jewish community. Melanie and Zachary still have cultural connections here, and Laurel has brought her grandchildren to TBE.

She admires the increasing inclusiveness of TBE and the outreach to interfaith and LGBTQ families. She hopes we will continue to draw people in.

Laurel’s Jewish philosophy? “Try different things. Try different shuls to find how to connect and meet your needs. And be respectful of others, but never let anyone tell you they’re right and you’re not.”

Certainly Laurel’s journey is one we can all celebrate, respect, and appreciate.

This weekly email series highlights members of 54 or more years who have been vital to building, growing, and sustaining the congregation. We thank the team of volunteers who have helped recognize these members by conducting interviews, writing their stories, proofreading, and more.

Please join us to celebrate all our members—new, longtime, and in between—at our Membership Shabbat Reception on Friday, February 25, where we will debut a special publication featuring these stories and more.

May we continue to go from strength to strength!
