My job was to train Jewish student leaders in the words of an Israeli advertisement promoting safer driving: “Don’t be right, be smart,” a phrase we used a lot with Jewish student leaders. In the winter of 2012, the David Project took a group of non-Jewish student leaders to Israel—student body presidents, newspaper editors, progressive leaders and activists, and others—along with their Jewish student counterparts, to understand the array of narratives that make up the Israeli people.
