For Malcolm Hoenlein, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organizations context matters. In his lengthy interview he suggests that Jewish students’ illiteracy is present before they hit American campuses. Lets be honest: you do not need to be Jewish to lack historical context. Honelein’s interview and the November 2015 Brandeis study suggest vast knowledge deficiencies among students about modern Israel.
