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.

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,
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.
