- Description
- After World War I, many Jewish people in Chicago began moving from Maxwell Street, where the earliest Jewish immigrants had settled, to the Lawndale neighborhood. Moving to a new neighborhood meant that many new congregations were founded as well, one of which was K.I.N.S. This item is a booklet written in Yiddish that contains the original articles of incorporation for K.I.N.S., dated back to 1926. While there is evidence that K.I.N.S. existed earlier than 1926, this is the first known official document produced by K.I.N.S. leadership. The inside text is meant to be read right-to-left instead of left-to-right. Currently, the exact contents are untranslated.
