The Mercer County Jewish Genealogy Society at Beth El Synagogue holds periodic programs and events of interest to people who are researching their Jewish ancestry or who are curious about Jewish genealogy and history. They are free and open to the public.

The Society’s mission is to foster and nurture an interest in Jewish genealogy by providing education and information, and also to inspire the next generation to learn about, and take pride in, its heritage.
