At Mishkan Shalom, you’ll find a spiritual home with profound and dynamic services, life cycle events, Jewish cultural celebrations, a vibrant congregational school and a shared commitment to social justice.
We are grounded in Jewish values as written in our Statement of Principles. Along with a strong and supportive community, you will find an inspiring rabbinic team in our Senior Rabbi, Linda Holtzman and our Rabbinic Director of Spiritual Development, Rabbi Yael Levy.

A wide range of programs are offered for young people: Our Congregational School is led by our innovative Principal, Rivka Jarosh.

Gabby is the creator and Coordinator of our ground-breaking Celebrations! and Mitzvah Menshes programs, serving children, families and young adults with special needs.
Our community is rich in diversity – in Jewish observance, family structure, ethnicity, religious heritage, politics, and household geography and economics.
