Abstract:

The popular perception that American college campuses are on fire is largely untrue. Yet, a majority of Jewish students are unprepared, intellectually or emotionally, to counter any level of anti-Israel tension on campus. Through a variety of strategies, Hillel is fostering a community of proactive Israel advocacy on campus.
