The man she called Uncle was really her father, and her mother carried a dreaded disease she had kept secret. As a pre-schooler she suffered a violent sexual assault by a rabbi. How does a gifted child maneuver through that and more? She discovers her father's violin is also broken, and vows it will make music again, and so will she. This revealing new book by Tikvah Feinstein is fascinating, engrossing and extremely intimate. She wrote this after a cardiac arrest. The story tells of her biological father, New Yorker David Horowitz, a Jew, who along with a so-called prophet he had met in a cave in Jerusalem, published a controversial translation of Scriptures they titled The Bible In The Hands of Its Creators, claiming there is more than one creator, in fact many. The author is Horowitz's daughter by another's wife, Ruth Dobsch, a former Christian, who had concealed the fact that she survived congenital syphilis. Tikvah re-creates her birth and early childhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and brings to life her forebears who came from settings of pre-Holocaust Europe, the Great Depression, The Flood of 1936, as she explores events of their times in fascinating detail. The story begins in Pittsburgh in 1944, during the war, with a backdrop of the Holocaust. Raised in an impoverished family on the North Side of Pittsburgh, with moves to Beaver and Washington counties in PA, to Michigan and back to beautiful Elco Hill, where the family of ten lived in an unfinished shanty they built themselves. The readers will experience the impact of those times and events. Tikvah was, as a child, symbol of The United Israel World Union, an international religious movement based on fundamental biblical laws of Moses and included devout and non-affiliated Jews and Christians. As an aside, and not mentioned in the book, Tikvah received an Anthrax threat letter, which she opened and threw in the thrash, that was addressed to her and sent to Taproot Press in 2001. She was hospitalized with bronchial and congestive heart failure; doctors at the time - before the Anthrax letters sent to other journalists became known - called it a mystery and said it could have been caused by a virus. She watched the attack of the World Trade Towers on television the day she was released from the hospital, still Ill. She improved slowly. We all regrettably know the rest. She writes, Long before I became a writer, my mother insisted I would write her story, telling me over and over the details of her life and the extraordinary events and people she came from. Her early life had been so tragic that it overwhelmed my ability to understand it. She kept one dark secret from me. That is the secret that would tie it all together. My natural father, Rudolph Dobsch, was quiet, gentle and strong, bearing his own secret, entangled in a precipitous alliance and her secret became theirs. My biological father is David Horowitz, a writer, an international figure, a larger-than-life religious leader who brought the Torah into many lives. According to the Talmud, if you teach someone the Torah, he or she is essentially your child. Hence, David has many children. Some stories have to be written to be understood. And I have attempted to tell their stories. They are my ancestors, some whom I have only known through stories told by others. I have had to enter those past eras to capture their personalities.
