As we are reaching the home stretch, we are putting the final touches on the
program for the Jewish Genealogy Conference in Jerusalem. We have made
arrangements with the Chevra Kadisha [Burial Society] to enable you to search for
where your relatives might be buried in Jerusalem [only].

We are posting a downloadable .pdf on our website:

This file should be printed, filled out and returned to us as instructed on the
form. When you arrive at the Conference, the information will be waiting for you.

We will continue this service after the conference as well, but preference until
then will be given to those registered for the conference.

during the conference. Their hours for the week of 4 - 9 July will be as follows:
