About the Dybbuks

Sue Lindenberg McClelland is a retired Marriage and Family Therapist with an additional master's degree in Fine Arts and Fiction. She grew up in Pittsburgh's Hill District, where her father, Sidney Joseph Lindenberg (Lindy) had spent his childhood as a first generation son of parents who had immigrated from Riga, Latvia in the early 1900's. As part of her master's degree program at Eastern Washington University, she wrote "About the Dybbuks" which is a series of interconnected short stories "my father never told." It is based on snippets of the stories her father did tell and interviews of people who also grew up in the Pittsburgh's Hill District.
