Rediscovering Our Past... Creating Our Future  
KAM Isaiah Israel is the oldest synagogue in Chicago, founded in 1847 as Kehilath Anshe Maarav (KAM), the Congregation of the Men of the West. In 1971 KAM merged with Isaiah Israel to become a leader in the Reform movement.

KAM Isaiah Israel is a rich and diverse Reform congregation of individuals and families who study, practice, and celebrate their Jewish lives together. We are a founding member of the Union for Reform Judaism. At KAMII we introduce innovation while preserving tradition, embrace diversity while asserting commonality, affirm beliefs without rejecting those who doubt, and bring faith to sacred texts without sacrificing critical scholarship.

ChapelOur diverse and growing membership lives in Hyde Park and Kenwood, as well as the south Loop, Downtown, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and the southern and northern suburbs. We are committed to the principles of inclusion and equality. KAMII attracts congregants from throughout the Chicago area seeking a true sense of Jewish community.

We welcome your participation.
