Dear Judaica Librarians: I am the Volunteer Librarian at Beth David a Reform Synagogue in Westminster, California. I am also the President, Vice President of Programming, and Librarian of the Orange County California Jewish Genealogy Society and the Head of Libraries for the International Association of Jewish Genealogy Societies. I am working on a paper on how to set up a Jewish Genealogy Library for the IAJGS website. I am also working on a comprehensive bibliography for a Jewish Genealogy collection. I have a 215 volume Jewish Genealogy Collection in my garage for the Orange County Jewish Genealogy Society. My personal collection is 41 volumes. 37 of them are duplicate copies of books in the OCJGS collection. I can be reached anytime for questions about Jewish Genealogy Library Resources and how to build a Jewish Genealogy Library. Check out https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ocjgs.org__;!!KGKeukY!nVLoto_x7r_PjtnmcEw412l5nGC3nLL7SOyZTQQdix5dx02JfkC_SfodatnqQ8R85S4$ to see what is in my OCJGS collection. The two books I recommend for every Jewish library are 1. Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy 2020 edition by Gary Mokotoff 2. From Generation to Generation 3rd edition by Arthur Kurzweil
