Say “I do” in a Chicago landmark
Exchange vows beneath the soaring dome and restored stained glass of our historic sanctuary, then celebrate with dinner and dancing steps away — all in one beautiful home in Hyde Park.
KAM Isaiah Israel is Illinois’ oldest Jewish congregation, and our Byzantine-style sanctuary, designed by Alfred Alschuler, is a designated Chicago Landmark. Its stained-glass restoration earned a 2023 Preservation Excellence Award from the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. We welcome couples of all backgrounds to celebrate here.
