The New Jerusalem/El-HEJERA Pilot Project - Summary
The Proposed Pilot Project will:
1. 1. Present the New Jerusalem Vision as feasible solution to the Jerusalem deadlock, beneficial to all parties. It will also introduce this Vision as the one practical means for peaceful realization of the future Temple.
2. 2. Promote the Plan as to elicit respectable interfaith endorsements.
3. 3. Prepare a respectable mass-appeal, probably over the Internet (e.g.: 144 million letters), with administration and website tools to launch and handle its responses.
4. 4. Draw a complete technical proposal for realizing the full virtual-Heavenly Jerusalem model for presentation to potential funding agencies.
5. 5. Make a Demo in Cyberspace, most likely as a multi-user game, of the (staged) operation of the Old City as "New Jerusalem"/Temple, with two key foci operative at this stage. (See section 5.4 below, more foci will be added gradually).
6. 6. Draw a concept for organization plan of the volunteer welfare work and the development agency – (e.g. "The HEJERA").
Costs: A budget of $22,000 will serve for investigating the application of "The New Jerusalem" concept for the Old City of Jerusalem and checking its viability (items 1-3 above). Another $40,000 will allow a minimal working WWW facility for administering the process of building the New Jerusalem constituency, for forming "cyber-pilgrimage" to Jerusalem as a universal Temple and for drawing a complete plan for the virtual New Jerusalem, with assessed costs and feasibility (items 4-6 above).
(Note: The submitted proposal included detailed specification of these tasks, which is not given here.)
