Historical NotesB’nai B’rith McKeesport Lodge No. 573 was chartered on April 18, 1904. The organization was involved in a wide variety of community service and welfare activities. The lodge merged with the Pittsburgh Lodge in April 2000, to form the Three Rivers Unit No. 44. The lodge was part of B’nai B’rith District 3, which covered Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Donor Claire Iszauk is a lifelong resident of McKeesport and now a member of Temple B’nai Israel.
