Mishkan Calendar

Rosh Chodesh is a minor holiday that occurs on the first day of each month in the Jewish calendar (aka the new moon).

Why do the High Holidays even matter? Does prayer change the world? Do I believe in G-d? G-d as a King or Judge – does this metaphor work for me? What am I praying for? If I don’t know anything, how can I meaningfully participate? This is my first HighHo, is there anyone else like me? Great […]

Rise and shine with Rabbis Lizzi, Lauren, and Jeff at the Mishkan Space for a family Shabbat experience! We'll start with a bagel brunch at 10am, and then sing, tell stories, and get jazzed for the holidays together with our whole Mishkan families community. All ages welcome.

We'll do havdallah (send out Shabbat with light, spices and wine), and sit in circles and sing the night away, learning new tunes and singing the classics. First timers especially invited! […]
