  • Description
  • Benjamin Simon and Bernard Levy are flying an IKS kite. The Irene Kaufmann Settlement (IKS) served the immigrant community of Pittsburgh's Hill District neighborhood with a wide variety of services, including athletic programs. The IKS was originally founded as the Columbian Council School and Settlement in 1895. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kaufmann endowed the IKS in 1909, in memory of their daughter. The IKS merged with the YM&WHA and evolved into the present-day Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. The JCC continues the tradition of the IKS in providing programs and services to the nonsectarian local community.
