   Linda Askenazi, MSW Executive Director
   
   Linda graduated Wurzweiler School of Social Work in 1981, to become the Director of the Council of Jewish Organizations of Flatbush. While working there, she was asked by a member of the board to interview for the job of Director of Hillel of Brooklyn College. Although at first not interested, Linda then learned that she probably wouldn't have gotten the job, being a woman and a social worker. Quickly changing her mind, she applied and became the first non-rabbi and first woman to direct the Brooklyn College Hillel. What began as a two year commitment became a passion. Linda sees Hillel as the most unifying force in the Jewish community.
   ...
   Working with a strong board of directors on raising funds, Linda sees her role as ensuring that the Hillel House remains attractive and comfortable to students. As the visionary guiding the Brooklyn College Hillel she considers it her responsibility to see to it that everything done at Hillel reflects Jewish values, notably: ethics, tolerance, compassion, and charity. Linda is married to a Sephardic Jew from Mexico, has four children and enjoys vegetarian food, jogging and talking a lot!
