Kids & Families at Mishkan
Mishkan is the place for deep Jewish spirituality in Chicago, for adults AND for kids.
Our family programs are all about bringing Jewish community, rituals and holidays to life. By offering programs for children and parents to learn together and separately, have fun, sing, dance, tell stories and create, our families connect deeply with one another while giving kids the space to explore. We serve families of all religious and spiritual backgrounds, as well as kids of all ages, including our new suite of Cohen Kadima Teen Programming.
