Double Your Impact This Giving Tuesday: Support Jewish Genealogy Technology Innovation Through the Ronald Arons Memorial Fund

This Giving Tuesday, honor the legacy of Jewish genealogy innovation while doubling your impact through a special matching gift opportunity to the Ronald Arons Memorial Fund at IAJGS.

A Legacy of Innovation in Jewish Genealogy

The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) has established the Ronald Arons Memorial Fund to celebrate and continue Ron's passionate commitment to advancing genealogical research through technology. Ron, who served as IAJGS Secretary until his unexpected passing last year, was widely respected throughout the Jewish genealogy community for his innovative thinking, engaging presentations, and authored works.

Your Gift Goes Twice as Far

Thanks to a generous donor's $5,000 initial contribution and matching pledge, every dollar you give to the Ronald Arons Memorial Fund will be doubled – up to an additional $5,000. This means your $100 gift becomes $200, your $500 becomes $1,000, creating an even greater impact for Jewish genealogy technology initiatives.

Continuing Ron's Vision: The New IAJGS Jewish Roots Events Calendar

One of Ron's lasting contributions was implementing the IAJGS event calendar. Building on his legacy of technological innovation, we're proud to announce an enhanced calendar system launching in December 2024. This upgraded platform will serve as the central hub for Jewish genealogy educational events worldwide, exemplifying the type of technological advancement the Memorial Fund aims to support.
