"A GUIDE TO JEWISH GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH IN ISRAEL"
Co-authored by Sallyann Amdur Sack and the Israel Genealogical Society
Courtesy of Avotaynu, Inc

The Guide to Jewish Genealogical Research in Israel, (hardcover, 229 pages, Revised Edition, 1995) is a primer for anyone who plans to do genealogical research in Israel. It was the first attempt to produce a comprehensive guide of the genealogical resources available in the country. The Guide is written very clearly and is a very valuable asset for all researchers.
Ten years after its publication, much of it is still very relevant (although not complete). A companion to the Guide, its Table of Contents with updated addresses and phone numbers can be found on the web site of the Israel Genealogical Society at http://www.isragen.org.il/BIB/JGR/jgrMain.htm
