In this warm, memory‑rich conversation, Rob sits down with longtime Tevya alumni Karen Friedberg Fass, whose family connection to Camp Tevya stretches back to 1951. Karen shares stories from her siblings’ early years at camp, her own arrival in 1961, her time as one of Phyllis Tanen’s girls, and her crowning as Tel Chai Queen in 1970.
Together, Rob and Karen explore how Tevya has evolved across the decades — from strict dining hall rules and Hebrew lessons to counselor shows, game days, and the changing culture of camp life. Karen also reflects on the joy of watching her children and grandchildren continue the Tevya tradition, creating a true three‑generation legacy.
In this episode, Rob Goodwin sits down with longtime Tevya alumna Linda Schnall Hill, whose Tevya journey began in 1978. Linda shares vivid memories of early camp life, the friendships that shaped her, and the traditions that defined generations of campers. From Color War to Game Day, from Songfest to Tel Noar rivalries, this episode is packed with stories that capture the spirit, humor, and heart of Camp Tevya.
Linda reflects on being captain of Galil in 1982, her years on the athletic staff, and the unforgettable moments that bonded campers and counselors alike. Rob adds his own stories — including legendary Color War breaks, softball walk‑offs, and the infamous “dining hall fire” prank that didn’t quite go as planned.
This episode is a nostalgic ride through Tevya history, tradition, and community.
