Tot Shabbat is a monthly service for children under age 5.
Mishkan Shalom holds religious services year-round for Shabbat and holidays. As a Reconstructionist congregation, all services are participatory and egalitarian. During the summer months of July and August, services are led by congregants. Transliteration for Hebrew prayers and readings are integrated into our prayer books.
Summer services are held at Mishkan every Saturday morning beginning in early July. These are lay-led, with a facilitated Torah discussion starting at 9:30 AM. and the service beginning at 10:30. Attendees are invited to bring food (no meat or shellfish, please) and beverages to share for an informal oneg after the service.
