Welcome to Mishkan Shalom

Teaching outside We are affiliated with Reconstructing Judaism , the central organization of the evolving Reconstructionist movement.

Our congregation of approximately 250 households is located in an historic converted textile mill in the quiet Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia, close to the energetic Manayunk waterfront. While we are proud to call this area our home, our members come from all over the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond.

It would be our pleasure to have you get to know our unique community! We invite you to learn more about us through this website, or by contacting us directly at 215‑508‑0226.

Fun Fact:

One of my important early introductions to Ashkenazi Jewish sensibility was Allen Sherman, the comedic singer/songwriter. Even though I don’t think I had met a Jew until my teens, I really liked Allan Sherman as a child because he was hilarious and I could intuit how he was funny in a Jewish way. My nickname as a child was Reno because I lived in Nevada before moving East, and whenever people asked me why I dressed and talked so weird, they would ask me where I was from and I would say “Reno,” which actually became my name as a child.
