The goal of the Institute is to restore the history, the heritage and the life stories of the ancestors of the modern Jewish families in order to create the bond between today’s Jewry and its historic past. The results of this work will be available to the general public, enabling any Jew to find his/her family roots. The Institute’s purpose is to recapture and continue the unique tradition of chronicling the Jewish people, which began nearly four thousand years ago.
