Meet Longtime Members Jane and Evan Pizer

Interviewed by Linda Reivitz
Written by Samantha Gorelik

Evan and Jane Pizer weren’t strangers to Madison when they returned to the city in the early 1960s.

Evan had attended medical school at UW–Madison, and Jane received a master’s degree in counseling from UW–Madison. They married, while students, in 1957. After Evan completed his medical internship elsewhere, along with two years of army service, the couple found themselves back in Madison with two young children in tow.

Over the next few years, they became increasingly more involved in the Jewish community because of their children, joining Temple Beth El in 1966. Jane notes that membership was the logical step because of her desire to raise a Jewish family and for the kids to have a Jewish education. When she reflects on her early years as a member, Jane recalls the constant pickups and drop-offs for their four young children who regularly attended Temple events, Religious School, and training for Jewish life-cycle occasions.

One theme in particular comes to mind when Jane thinks about what Temple Beth El stands for: compassion. “A thread that continues and is extremely important to me, my family, and so many is the emphasis on humanity. It’s about reaching out to people.” She has always been drawn to the compassion and empathy Temple Beth El teaches, and while the building and the people inside it have changed, this theme remains a core part of Temple’s philosophy. People show up for each other.

Jane believes that Rabbi Manfred Swarsensky truly set the tone for the rabbis that would follow, by focusing on humanism and interdenominational values. Growing up, Jane had little Jewish background. At age 9, Jane asked to stop having Christmas trees in her home and began a decades-long journey of exploring her Jewish faith. Jane’s mother died when she was 14. After her father married a Baptist woman, Jane was asked to attend church services regularly. So, in some ways, Jane was more knowledgeable about Christianity than Judaism. But because of her interfaith background, she has always valued interdenominational principles and appreciated Rabbi Swarsensky’s commitment to interfaith relationships and dialogues.

She describes a challenging incident that illustrates Rabbi Swarsensky’s values and guidance. When Jane and Evan’s children were young, the Madison Jewish Community Council (MJCC, which later became the Jewish Federation of Madison) wanted schools to understand that some children practiced religions other than Christianity. During the holiday season, MJCC sent a note to all the principals in the district to encourage conversation about Hanukkah and other holidays. At Shorewood Hills Elementary, where Jane was PTA president, the principal posted it in the teachers’ lounge. Some parents and teachers misinterpreted the message as an attack on them and on Christmas. They began to blame Jane, as an assumed spokesperson for the Jewish community, thinking she was responsible for the letter. As the situation escalated, a local pastor phoned Rabbi Swarsensky, who was his friend, saying that this didn’t sound like the Jewish values he’d learned from the rabbi. Rabbi Swarsensky agreed, of course. He counseled Jane on how to approach the situation and encouraged her to talk directly with the principal. Ultimately, with the rabbi’s guidance, she attended a school meeting, where she explained to parents and teachers that the letter was not meant as an attack on Christmas but as a reminder that not all students are Christian.

Jane remembers that the situation even led a kindergarten classmate of her youngest son to threaten him as a result of the rumors. She simply couldn’t believe a child so young could experience such hatred. Jane’s close Temple friend Rona Malofsky (of blessed memory) shared a message that Jane has carried with her all these years: “You might forget you’re Jewish, but the world never will.”

Jane fondly looks back at Rabbi Swarsensky’s words and wisdom that guided her through this difficult time, recalling the many ways he championed and taught inclusivity. Over the years she appreciated his insightful sermons, which covered a variety of meaningful and inspiring topics. In fact, she purchased a book of them, titled Intimates and Ultimates (available in the TBE library), and she attended interfaith classes and programs that Rabbi Swarsensky led at Edgewood College.

One of her most memorable experiences at Temple was the wedding of her eldest son, Steven. Rabbi Jan Brahms had been hired but had not yet moved to Madison. Due to a variety of circumstances, they had a month or less to plan the wedding. She called Rabbi Brahms shortly before he moved to Madison to see if he could help with the last-minute nuptials. “Hi, I’m Jane Pizer. I’m going to ask you something, and I’m expecting you to say no, and I’ll understand. Would you be willing to do this interfaith wedding (your second week on the job)?” Rabbi Brahms was eager to help and even met with the couple a few times before their big day.

Jane never thought she and her family would be lifelong Madison residents. But she and Evan have spent 61 of the 65 years they’ve been married here. She’s watched the Jewish community grow and evolve and is proud to see how much easier it’s become for members to connect with Judaism and stay active. “In terms of accessibility to Judaism, I think it’s wonderful. It’s at your fingertips, what you want to know.” That said, she acknowledges that antisemitism is still an issue, and, depending on where you live within this country or even this state, you may experience it to different degrees.

Without a doubt, Jane is certain that the Jewish upbringing and education her children experienced at TBE has stayed with them well into adulthood.

Two of her children had their b’nai mitzvah as youth, but one son had his bar mitzvah in his 20s, and her daughter had her bat mitzvah in her early 40s. “I believe that the basis of education that they received helped them have some idea of what it means to be Jewish. It formed a basis for them to later make their own decisions about life-cycle events, which in their case was more meaningful because they chose it.”

In the end, it all comes back to that thread of humanity, a word Jane repeats often when discussing the decades she’s spent as a member of Temple Beth El. Connecting with each other and reminding ourselves that we are all humans, no matter where we come from, is what it’s all about.

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!
