Mishkan is a spiritual community in Chicago reclaiming Judaism’s dynamic essence through prayer and learning experiences rooted in music and intellectual exploration. We really believe that Judaism done right is a vehicle for bringing more light, more goodness, more justice, and more joy into the world, and that inspired prayer and inspired living reinforce on another.
The ancient Mishkan in the desert brought together the Israelites from across the spectrum of the community, and so do we: young, young-at-heart, total novices alongside people with different skills and abilities, LGBTQ Jews, Jews in interfaith relationships and from all denominational backgrounds. We believe everyone’s birthright is to connect in this way. The only thing required is your heart be fully in it.
