Meet Longtime Member Howard Goldberg

Interviewed by Susan Ottmann
Written by Aleeza Hoffert

Howard Goldberg was born in 1937, two years before Temple was founded by his parents and others on November 20, 1939.

Howard has remained a TBE member his whole life, even when he has moved elsewhere for school or, as in recent years, when he has split his time between Madison and Sarasota, Florida.

He treasures the friendships he made within the Jewish community through grade school, high school, the AZA youth group, and a bowling league that was popular at the time. The Madison Jewish community was small, which he views as a plus: “In addition to all the good things I had going for me in Madison, I had the Jewish community, the people and events.” He does not remember experiencing antisemitism in Madison and never felt that being Jewish was viewed negatively here.

Howard’s mother, Beatrice (Babs), was born in Omaha, Nebraska. His father, Mark Goldberg, immigrated to the U.S. from Russia and found his way to Madison to join relatives here. Mark attended the University of Wisconsin and met Babs through his roommate, who was engaged to Babs’s sister. They ended up having a double wedding.

As a young child, Howard went to Sunday School all over Madison, wherever space was available, because the new congregation didn’t have its own building. In those days, Rabbi Manfred Swarsensky taught all the classes. Howard’s mind was often elsewhere, and he recalls being a poor student. He never learned to speak or read Hebrew, though it was not Rabbi Swarsensky’s fault. He had special tutoring sessions at Rabbi Swarsensky’s apartment, where he would see the rabbi’s mother, who lived with the rabbi. She was the shortest lady he’d ever seen, and he doesn’t remember her name; she was always called “Mother Swarsensky.” He recalls that she was a wonderful lady.

Sam Stein, who owned the Quality Service Laundry company on Regent Street, led the charge to construct a Temple building and was instrumental in overseeing the arrangements. After schlepping all over the city to attend Temple events and programs, Howard really enjoyed the experience of gathering at the new building, starting in the fall of 1950. Howard remembers the dedication of the building fondly, as he was involved in recording it on a Magnecord reel-to-reel tape recorder. “It was quite an experience, which I’ll never forget.” Howard notes there have been a lot of physical changes to Temple since the building was constructed. The area at the back of the sanctuary used to include a stage, and that was the bimah. The building has grown significantly over time.

Howard’s confirmation class photo hanging in the Temple hallway includes these friends: Toby Heilprin and her cousin Larry Heilprin, Gail Chechik, Nancy Wagner, Penny Haines, and David Boner. David Boner moved to San Diego in the early 1950s, and they’ve always stayed in touch, including a phone call one week before this interview. Through AZA youth group activities, Howard got to know the Beth Israel Center kids as well.

After graduating high school, he went to Pomona College in California. He was in ROTC in college, and after graduating with a BA in economics he went into the army, commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant. He served as a platoon leader in the Transportation Corps at Fort Eustis, Virginia. After his active duty, he went to the University of Wisconsin to study marketing, but then he began selling life insurance and never completed that degree. Instead, he decided to learn more about the tax laws around life insurance. He received a law degree from UW and eventually joined the Madison law firm of Murphy Desmond S.C., which he is still with after all these years.

One of the best things that happened to Howard was when he started dating a girl at UW after returning from his active duty in the army. They attended High Holy Day services at TBE early in their relationship. In one of his sermons, Rabbi Swarsensky mentioned a gentleman in Eau Claire, who turned out to be his date’s uncle. In 1961, Sandra (Sandy) and Howard were married in Wausau, where Sandy had moved in high school after growing up mainly in Appleton. They’ve been married for over 60 years.

Howard served on the TBE Board of Trustees when Rabbi Swarsensky retired and Rabbi Kenneth Roseman was hired, as well as on the board of the Madison Jewish Community Council (now the Jewish Federation of Madison). Howard and Sandy were involved in creating and setting up Gan HaYeled preschool. Judy Ladinsky and Francie Saposnik were also part of this effort. During its first few years the school was held in Neighborhood House. It then moved to Beth Israel Center, to Temple Beth El, and finally to its current home at the Jewish Federation building. Sandy and Howard’s three children all attended.

Howard enjoyed traveling to Spain with Rabbi Jan Brahms on an Ayelet Tours trip right after the 9/11 attacks. Many who had signed up to go decided to cancel. The remaining travelers joined a group from Rochester, New York. They learned a lot about Jewish history in Spain, much of which was not pleasant. “The Jewish cemeteries were destroyed and the headstones were used to pave the roads,” Howard notes. “The government, at the time that we were there, was trying to encourage Jewish tourism.” They went to Barcelona and visited other Jewish communities in that area, as well as Madrid, Toledo, Seville, and Granada.

Music is a big part of Howard’s life, and he appreciates that music is an area that has changed a lot at Temple. He is impressed with the musical development at TBE. “It’s become excellent!” he says.

Howard makes it a point to be at Temple Beth El every summer for his mother’s yahrzeit as well as to attend High Holy Day services at TBE.

Howard and Sandy’s three kids—Julie White, Mark Goldberg, and Deborah Leonard—all grew up at Temple, and his two daughters and their families still reside in Madison, while his son lives in Florida with his wife. His grandsons attended Sunday School at Temple Beth El. He was overjoyed to welcome his great-granddaughter, Sloan Ashe Montgomery, into the family in October 2021.

Being active in the Jewish community continues to be important to Howard, and he encourages others to be involved as well, noting that it’s “a great way to meet people when you move into a new community.”

Howard and Sandy have made many new friendships through the congregation they are involved with in Sarasota, Florida. Howard is currently serving as the Volunteer Committee coordinator there, and is also on their Bulletin Committee and Membership Committee. He was the chair of their Endowment Fund for seven years as well. As the Volunteer Committee coordinator, his primary task is to get new members involved in a committee or group as quickly as possible to begin building friendships and having a stake in the congregation. “If you participate in a committee, you’re going to participate in your Temple and you will meet friends.”

Howard has enjoyed many social gatherings at people’s homes over the years, and he encourages everyone to make connections and get involved.

This 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.
