[mish-KAN] = a dynamic Jewish spiritual community, where ever you are on your journey
Back

Welcome to Mishkan. We’re glad you’re here.

Mishkan is inspired, down-to-earth Judaism.

We’re about creativity and tradition, about building space for ecstatic prayer, music and meditation, for being intellectually stimulated and spiritually invigorated. We believe that Judaism is a vehicle for bringing more light, more goodness, more justice, and more joy to the world.

Music

Music at Mishkan is not a spectator sport.  Sign up on the e-mail list below or check our calendar to find out more about our music jams and davening/prayer.

 


Learning

We’re aiming at two simultaneous goals:  Feeding the head and touching the heart.  Working with the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School, we want to invigorate and challenge your brain, not just impart information.  So even if you do know all ten commandments and the whole alef-bet backwards, click here to get in on the learning. Classes are open to the public and no background is required.  To study with Rabbi Heydemann, choose the Lakeview Year 1 option.


Lifecycles

Mishkan has a network of rabbis and teachers in Chicago available to officiate at weddings, funerals and other life cycle events you and your family. They can also introduce you to spiritual communities around the city that may be exactly what you and your family have been looking for.  We’re also happy to consult on developing creative rituals for your life cycle events that take them to the next level of creativity, celebration and depth.
