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.
