Saturday Morning Shabbat
Shabbat morning services in the sanctuary include Shacharit, the Torah Service, and Musaf. Congregants often lead parts of the service and have the honor of reading the weekly Torah portion, and members and visitors alike may receive an aliyah. Rabbi Katzan shares a sermon and engages the community in discussion. Mourners and those observing a yahrzeit lead the Mourner’s Kaddish.

Blue Ribbon Project

Purim at Mishkon
Purim is one of the most joyous holidays in the Jewish calendar. It commemorates the survival and tenacity of the Jewish people and reminds us to have the courage to stand up to injustice.
Mishkon's 75th Anniversary
To kick off a year full of celebration, we hosted an open house event that included festive music, fun nosh as well as historical and architectural tours.
Membership
One of the great benefits of being a member of our Mishkon community is experiencing what it is to be a part of something “larger than oneself.” When it is time to celebrate, find support and healing, guidance, or nourishing friendship, sharing with this special community adds meaning and substance to our lives.
