Gordon House, the new staff residence at the entrance to Camp Tevya, can now enrich Tevya campers’ opportunities for learning and growth every day by housing more department heads and senior specialists and by welcoming more visiting rabbis, artists, and coaches.
Aaron and Blanche Gordon built a legacy of exceptional leadership, strong character, and devoted commitment during Aaron’s nearly 25-year tenure as Camp Tevya Director 1948-1971—and as a teacher at Boston Latin School. Beloved by campers and staff, their memory continues to inspire the generations who knew them.
Tevya alumnus Michael Leven, Georgia Aquarium CEO and veteran hospitality executive, makes Gordon House possible through his extraordinary $1 million gift, Tevya’s largest ever. A Tevya “legend” himself, as a camper and on staff, he also cherishes his years as Aaron Gordon’s student at Boston Latin. Michael’s generosity will significantly enhance Tevya campers’ experiences, this summer and for years to come.
