Library

Our library is rich with interesting books and a wide variety of resources. We have a collection of many of the most important and most up-to-date books on genealogy today printed by Avotaynu and others book publishers.

JFRA has refurbished its library with no expense spared and establish a permanent home for it in Raanana where it will be accessible to JFRA members before every lecture.

This page offers an inventory of our books so that members will know what is available. Please note that although JFRA experts are always happy to share general information and pointers, lookup requests from specific books are reserved for paid up JFRA members.
