pace. At 9, she's learning the word
"apple" next to a 15-year-old,
Goldenberg says, speaking now with
no hint of a foreign accent. By late
1959, when the family moves to Oak
Park, she's not more than one academ-
ic year behind her schoolmates.
Fast forward to 1978. A mutual friend
fixes up Goldenberg, a social worker, with
a big guy named Avraham Gontovnik.
One year later, they are married in her
family's courtyard of three houses in
Ramat Gan, Israel, near Tel Aviv — the
place she left so many years ago.
The newlyweds move to their home in
Huntington Woods, where their extend-
ed family soon "extends" to neighbors
and friends and other people who have
settled in the Detroit area from Israel.
"We lost our parents at a relatively
young age," she says. "We've estab-
lished a family that's not entirely
blood related."

American Dream

The Fourth of July was always a big
event in the family backyard when the
couple's daughter, Tamar, 21, and son
Eitan, 19, were growing up.
Up to 50 people would cook out
and play music and sing, says
Gontovnik. "My son thought the party
and the fireworks in the sky were in his
honor. He was the happiest baby child,
born on the Fourth of July."
Now, Eitan is a sophomore at
Michigan State University and Tamar
has followed in her father's footsteps.
She's a senior at the University of
Michigan, majoring in engineering.
To Gontovnik, the American Dream
can be found in the concept of freedom,
and in a conversation he had with his
daughter when she was younger.
"My daughter said she wants to be the
president of the United States," he says,
eyes twinkling. "Just the fact that she can
think it and say it and feel that she can do
it — the fact that they can dream about it
and it's not out of the question is great."
To Goldenberg, everyone in the United
States is living the American Dream.
"People have no idea what they have
here," she says. "When you travel to
other countries or open the paper on
any particular day, you see the poverty
and the lack of what we have."
Gontovnik grabs his keys and heads
out the front door, on his way to Etgar
Corp. of Southfield. His small compa-
ny sets up and installs energy manage-
ment systems into buildings.
He pauses for a moment on the
front steps, where he straightens the
American flag that hangs by the door.
He raised that flag on Sept. 11. He
says it's never coming down. ❑
