K.A.M. Isaiah Israel CongregationAddress: 1100 E. Hyde
Park Blvd.
|
 |
The first Jewish
settlers in the city organized
Kehilath Anshe Maariv in 1847;
Isaiah Israel had its roots in the city's second
Jewish congregation, which was founded in 1852.
In 1971, the two merged to form K.A.M. Isaiah Israel Congregation.
This building,
based on Byzantine-style
design precedents, houses the oldest
Jewish congregation
in Chicago.
