Kahn’s Tailoring, the city’s largest manufacturer of men’s suits and military uniforms, employed hundreds of Jewish immigrants. About half of the Sephardic community worked here during the early twentieth century. Kahn’s was noteworthy for providing benefits to its employees, which was not common at the time. Outside of tailoring jobs, Indianapolis’ Sephardic Jews were also heavily employed in the produce industry.
