"Dialogue 101: Campus groups seek fresh conversations on Israel"
Dina Kraft
"The students, some 250 of them from at least 15 colleges and universities, are mostly Jewish. They have gathered this weekend on a hillside of Brandeis University to do something rather unusual in the world of Israel discourse, be it on campus or anywhere else: They are here to talk and connect with each other across political divides. They come from both corners of the spectrum, from AIPAC-affiliated campus groups to Students for Justice in Palestine... Melanie Fineman, a junior at Brown University... said she was delighted to hear that a group like bVIEW existed and was having a national student conference".

Lisa Wangness
"More than 250 students from Brandeis and colleges and universities around the region met to discuss how they could make campus dialogue more civil, and more focused on the future. “Thoughts change reality — that’s what happened in Israel over the last two years,” said Gil Zamir, an Israeli sophomore at Brandeis and one of five students who founded the group last fall. “Definitely you can feel that here".

"Learning From Our Students"
Editorial
"A most promising development in the area of campus dialogue on the Mideast took place at Brandeis University this week. More than 250 college students from the New England region came together to discuss how best to defuse the volatile topic and make it more civil, engaging and open, focusing on the future rather than the past. Best of all, the program, known as bVIEW (Brandeis Visions for Israel in an Evolving World), was created for and by college students themselves".

"Synagogue devotes 3 years to reengage on Israel"
Lisa Wangsness
"And at Brandeis University, students dismayed with the animosity among Israel-related organizations on campus recently started Brandeis Visions for Israel in an Evolving World , or bVIEW, which has gained an enthusiastic early following for its open, experimental approach. A recent panel discussion featured the usual representation from left, right, and center groups, but with a twist. Instead of rehashing arguments about past events, they could only ask and answer questions about the future".

"Our disputes must be 'for the sake of heaven'"
Natan Odenheimer
"At Brandeis the ground is rapidly changing. A grassroots movement that started on our campus with the clear mission of changing Israel-related discourse from polarizing to unifying is now bringing a new way to engage with Israel. How? By reclaiming one of the most fundamental aspects of Zionism: vision".

"Why Cynicism Is Not the Answer: Israel on Campus"
Erica Shaps
"bVIEW student leaders envision conversations that emphasize innovation, embrace diversity, empower students, and push us to look toward the future. At Brandeis, this is already happening. By bringing together thought-provoking speakers, experiential learning opportunities, and participant-driven discussions, we are transcending simplistic rhetoric and depolarizing discussions on campus. With our day long conference at Brandeis on Sunday, January 27th that is open to all university students, we are going to take the next steps to make this vision a lasting reality".
