The host will be IAJGS. Harvey Krueger, long-time friend of Jewish genealogy, will be honorary chairman of the conference. Since 1984, the IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy has been held in Israel about once every ten years. Israel is one of the better venues for the annual conference because of its incredible resources for Jewish genealogical research.
