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.

High Holy Days 5785

What is our communal as well as individual work of teshuvah (return, repair, restoration) during these perilous times?

We will build on last year's theme: what it means to be part of the evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people, and what our communal purpose is in light of everything that has occurred across the world in the last year.

The year has also brought each of us personal discoveries and losses, breakthroughs and disappointments, moments of meaningful connections and loneliness.

Our traditions remind us that we are not alone amidst the uncertainties and possibilities--that we are part of a sacred community, and a global movement.
The Yamim Noraim, Days of Awe, ask us to face the truth of our circumstances, strengthen the communal bonds to live in solidarity with all beings, and commit to the people we aspire to be.

Interested in Congregational School?

Mishkan Shalom is still enrolling students in our Congregational Hebrew School for 5786. The school year started in September, but it is OK to join us anytime.

As we lay the foundation for future generations, the Congregational School serves as one of the most significant expressions of Mishkan Shalom’s values.
