Show & Tell

Show & Tell is IGRA’s new series of online meetings, some in English and others in Hebrew. These are short 40 minute sessions where we offer practical assistance on a variety of genealogically relevant topics.

Look at the Upcoming Events on the top left of most of our website pages to see what Show & Tell sessions are coming up soon, and to get the link to join those sessions in Zoom. Pre-registration is necessary for these sessions. Once registered you will receive the link letting you into the session.

The best of these session recordings will be posted to this page so they can continued to be viewed long after the live event occurred.
