UJGS - Meetings

Note: June, August, and December meetings for 2010 have changed location. We will be meeting at the Jewish Community Center located at 2 North Medical Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84113. Google Map

Directions: From the intersection of 1300 East and 100 South, head east. The street will curve around the northern border of the University of Utah campus and change its name to North Campus Drive, then to North Medical Drive. The JCC is the first building on your left after the final name-change intersection.


The UJGS meets every other month. Meetings start at 7:00pm and are usually held on the second Monday of the month at Congregation Kol Ami located at 2425 Heritage Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84109. The easiest access if from I-80 heading east, taking the 2300 East exit, then immediately taking the first left. The synagogue is the first building on the left, about 500 feet ahead.

Beginning in 2010, join us earlier at 6:30pm for Schmooze Time; talk to your fellow society members about genealogy and get to know one another better.
