Heavenly Jerusalem

Haaretz : By Yair Sheleg

Imagine that the following institutions are located in Jerusalem: An international court; an international dialogue center for the three, monotheistic religions; an academic center to promote leadership of the Jewish people; an international software development center that focuses on Jewish subjects; and a museum of the Jewish people. These are only a few of the programs that will be presented to the cabinet to mark Jerusalem Day in conjunction with an effort to 'strengthen the standing of Jerusalem as the civilizational capital of the Jewish people.'

This is not a utopian vision but a plan supported by the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute (JPPPI), a respected think tank led by Professor Yehezkel Dror, an Israel Prize winner and Winograd Commission member.
