This press release will appear in hundreds of media spots all
over the world. As a special event, we are sending this out to
all the known Jewish users of Internet and the other connected
commercial networks and we are inviting you all to write to the
Mayor's Internet address given in his header. Our hope is that
your replies will help to further the interest in Internet
throughout the Jewish Global Community and the Internet Community
at large.
Thank-you and Happy Jerusalem Day to all,
MK Avadia Eli - Lt. Chairman of The Kenneset (Likud)

Joesph Van Zwarren - Min. of Science and Technology
Benyamin HaLevy - General Manager JINC
Zvi Lando - Network Manager
The Jerusalem One Network
*************************
The JICN has taken the initiative of establishing a foundation
to fund the maintenance of Jewish networking activities from
Jerusalem. The foundation is headed by Israeli businessmen,
Members of Kenesset, other key public figures, and has already
gotten significant funding to launch the establishment of an
information - server. This server will work in close contact with
the Israel project at the NyserNet server in New York and with
similar motivated individuals and projects to advance the goal of
strengthening the Jewish community world-wide.
Our hope is that, in the near future, to have at our facilities
the resources to initiate a varied spectrum of Jewish services
and to allow those who wish to initiate such services to do so.
In these beginning months of our activity, we plan to initiate
such services which we feel are within our reach. With this in
mind, we have as our main goal the Jewish university students and
Jewish high schools who will soon be the leaders of our people.
We have the following goals:
1) To work with schools, Jewish organizations and institutions
throughout the Jewish Global Community.
3) To connect with Jewish people throughout the world and to give
them interesting and important Jewish information services
which will strengthen their roots to the Jewish People and
their contact with Israel.
3) To provide Jewish university students a wealth of services and
information about Israel, Zionism and Jewish culture and
sciences, information tailored to their interests and demands.
4) To publish a catalogue on Jewish networking and to provide
promotional information which will enable a Jew anywhere in
the world to know how he can find any information that
interests him and to allow easy access to these services.
5) To insure correct and timely maintenance of these services.
6) To enrich the network knowledge of these users and to execute
programs that will encourage them to actively participate in
the project.
7) To actively take part in a world-wide champaign to encourage
Jewish people and students to connect to the Internet and to
use our services.
8) To offer The Jerusalem One network for Non-Jews over the world
as a reference and information center from where they too can
learn about the Jewish People and Israel
Again, I wish to greet you all on Jerusalem Day and would like
any and all of the thousands of users on the different computer
networks on Internet to reply directly to Teddy's Jerusalem
office with your blessings for Jerusalem Day at his personal

JERUSALEM DAY MESSAGE
****************************************************************************
* *
* On the 28th day of Iyar (May 19) we shall once again mark Jerusalem Day, *
* the 26th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. It is always a *
* time of recollection and reflection. *
* *
* In our thoughts, we encounter the Jerusalem of the media headlines, a *
* city of tensions and troubles. But in fact, this is a city which *
* Jerusalemites can hardly recognize. There are, of course, problems. *
* There are political complexities of our part of the world which cannot *
* but affect life in Jerusalem as well, although to a much lesser extent *
* than elsewhere. There are economic problems as we meet the challenge of *
* absorbing the mass immigration from the former Soviet Union and from *
* Ethiopia and of providing proper employment for Jews and Arabs alike. *
* There are social problems as the city's residents learn to live together *
* even in adversity. There are housing needs, all of which must be met. *
* *
* What rarely makes the headlines is the Jerusalem of everyday, the *
* Jerusalem of good tidings. There are few headlines on the vast number of *
* tourists who reached our city in the past twelve months, on the *
* beautiful Tisch Zoo which we opened just recently (and on a single day *
* in the Passover holiday had 30,000 visitors), on the Bloomfield Science *
* Museum which is a singular educational and educational facility, on the *
* Arab Central Library which was a gift of friends from many countries, *
* even on the new mall which is the largest in the Middle East. I could go *
* on and on. *
* *
* As we look to the future, we do so with one overriding thought in mind: *
* the peace process. The steps will be painfully slow; there will be *
* occasional steps backward; but there is a process and there are people *
* talking who never talked before. Jerusalem will be part of this peace *
* process and we shall do everything to ensure that the future of the city *
* is based on mutual respect and understanding. *
* *
* Jerusalem is flourishing. It is beautiful. And it awaits the visit of *
* first-timers and the return visit of those who have been here before. *
* *
* Thank-you; *
* *

Shalom;
We wish to report that we will be sending out, to all those on
internet who reply to our previous Jerusalem Day Press Release
from the office of Jerusalem Mayor Mr. Teddy Kollek a special
version of The Jerusalem Post. This version will include a
Jerusalem Day interview with Mr. Kollek and various news of
the day.
I wish to add that the Jerusalem Post has received a license
from The Ministry of Communications here in Israel to hook up
to Internet and they are now looking into the possibility of
"publishing" an electronic daily version of their paper on the
network. The version we will send out will include a few
questions they wish to ask in order to further this goal.
This first electronic version will, as I stated above be sent
to all those who reply by May 18th to the press release at
Teddy Kollek's internet address:
[email protected]
Thank you and Happy Jerusalem Day -
Zvi Lando
