         Purpose:


         The Strategic Planning Unit of the Department of Settlement
         and Development of the Jewish Agency is engaged in the
         development of a planning project called "Master Plan for
         Israel in the years 2000 - Israel 2020". Scenarios concerning
         various  processes that may affect the future environment of
         Israel are being studied and taken as part of the planning
         input. One of these central issues is current processes
         affecting the Diaspora and its future relations with Israel.
         Scientists, demographers, political and social scientists,
         economists, historians and philosophers, regional planners
         and futurists, Jewish community and organizational leaders
         and professionals from the Israel and the Diaspora are trying
         to clarify Israel/Diaspora issues and give a significant
         contribution to the planning process.
