Southern African Rabbinical Association (SARA)
The Rabbinic Genealogy Special Interest Group (Rav-SIG) maintains a major on-line resource. More than 300 resources for rabbinic genealogical research are listed in categories such as bio-bibliographical dictionaries, Chassidic rabbis, biographies, family genealogies, Sephardi and Mizrahi resources, regions and countries, periodicals, audiotapes, and CD-ROMs. Indexes by author and by names of rabbis found in the bibliography are also
provided. A significant contributor to the resource is Dr. Neil Rosenstein, a medical graduate of the University of Cape Town and author and compiler of The Unbroken Chain,
a compendious two-volume listing of several thousand rabbinic genealogical records.
The bibliography is located at http://www.jewishgen.org/Rabbinic/infofiles/biblio.htm.
The home-page is at http://www.jewishgen.org/Rabbinic.
