IGRA (Israel Genealogy Research Association) and everyone in the Israel genealogical community deeply mourns the death of Chava Agmon (b. Eve Marie Nadelman). Chava was involved in genealogy in Israel for many many years and was one of the founding and most devoted members of JFRA (Jewish Family Research Association), one of the forerunners of IGRA. Chava was a feisty, feminist, no-nonsense character and attended meetings whenever she could – even up to a few months ago.
When offered free membership as she entered her 90th year, she would not hear of it and insisted on giving her membership money as a donation.
Chava was a descendant of R. Joseph Chaim Caro (1805-1895) of Wloclawek, Poznan, Poland, and, after inheriting several family manuscripts, she spent many years resesearching the family, and eventually donated her research to the Jacobi collection at the National Library of Israel.
She was responsible for the addenda to the Chronicle of the Caro family written by Jakob Caro in 1891.

May her memory be for a blessing.
