About Mishkon

Founded in 1918, Temple Mishkon Tephilo is one of the oldest  continuously operating synagogues on the West Side, and has  occupied its present historic building since 1948. Our  Conservative congregation is egalitarian and participatory, while remaining traditional. Mishkon events and services  emphasize music, food, spirit, and accessibility and our  intimate, friendly community includes approximately 200 member  families. Mishkon appeals to those who respect tradition while  remaining open to new thoughts and ideas. Much like its Venice  environment, our unique character attracts people from every  profession, including artists, writers, educators and intellectuals, who serve as each other's extended family.    Who We Are >>
