Joining Jill and Doron on the ninth episode of the podcast, to tell us her story, is our first guest from bonny Scotland, Orly (Marx) Koppel (1979-83).

A graduate of Oxford University and a psychotherapist in Glasgow, Orly (in 2021) published the book "Roads without Shoulders", a look back at her work and life, including her time at Carmel. Orly’s younger sister Sharon was in Jill’s and Doron’s year.

Hear Orly spill the beans on what her book says about Carmel, being pranked by her friends, and lift the veil on her romantic life (hint: she must really like boys who look good in purple & yellow).

Thank you, Orly, for turning us again to Carmel days!

The Road from Carmel

Carmel College: Ko leChai!
