I didn't know that DD was secretive about his Jewish heritage and embraced it later in his career -- although I'll admit back then, reading his interviews about the dreadful Reliquary storyline, it was the very first time I had seen him mention his Jewish background.

I still don't know why they insisted using the word reliquary rather than ark, which is a much more common term in synagogues.  Maybe the writers were thinking of the torah crown, or maybe they thought ark would remind people of Indiana Jones, but it was obviously a choice made by a production staffed by people who had never been to Hebrew school.

I don't think he was necessarily "secretive" about it; he just didn't readily discuss it until he was in his 40s and had a bunch of kids.   (Maybe it began to take on a greater significance for him at that point.)
