The Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles looks forward to welcoming you to Los Angeles from July 11 – 16 for an extraordinary series of presentations by renowned scholars, archivists and research specialists from around the world.  We’ll also offer enlightening films, methodology workshops, evening musical and dramatic performances, and opportunities to network and schmooze with a friendly, global community of Jewish genealogists.  Our resource room will be staffed by representatives from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Shoah Foundation, the Steven Spielberg Visual History Archive, the Jewish Genealogy Learning Center in Warsaw, and Yad Vashem, ready to provide you with one-one-one assistance with your research.

In addition to full conference registrations, we’re offering spouse/domestic partner discounts, full-time student and under 18 pricing, film festival and daily passes, plus evening-event-only registrations.  And as amazing as our daytime presentations and workshops are going to be,  we also have some unbelievable nighttime lectures and performances coming your way.

The conference room rate is $199 per night (single-quad) and if you need a roomie, we’ll try to match you with one once you’ve registered.

Anyone planning to arrive early can join us for two pre-conference, all kosher, welcome dinners (Friday, July 9 & Saturday, July 10)  with thought-provoking speakers and a special Shabbat-friendly learning session on Kabbalah with author, Arthur Kurzweil, on Saturday afternoon, July 10.
