Hine! Leader from page 27
An attorney, Firestone worked
as a high-tech executive in Israel
following a 1995-1998 stint as
an administrator and lecturer at
the Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology. He headed the Anti-
Defamation League's Israel office
before joining Hillel in 2002.
"He knows Hillel as well as any-
one coming in, certainly better
than the other candidates," said
philanthropist Michael Steinhardt,
a vice chairman of Hillel's board.
"He's familiar with the system;
he's committed, intelligent, he's
attractive and he's got great
motivation to do the job."
At the same time, Steinhardt
had concern about Firestone's
relative youth — he's 42. The
new position "is a major step up
in responsibility and complex-
ity. It's a very public position. I
hope he has the breadth to do it,"
Steinhardt said.
