About our community
Our welcoming community in Venice Beach is egalitarian and participatory, and joyously traditional. Mishkon embraces the warmth of tradition while welcoming new thoughts and ideas. Our unique character attracts people from every profession, including artists, writers, educators and intellectuals. Welcome to the family.
Mishkon’s beautiful sanctuary fills for the High Holy Days, beginning with Rosh Hashana through the deeply spiritual Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur. Services feature a mix of traditional and contemporary liturgy, with the Hazzan and the Kol Mishkon Choir. Congregants are encouraged to participate in the services, and there are opportunities for Torah readings and personal reflections, spiritual side trips and alternative services. High Holy Days services at Mishkon Tephilo are open to all, regardless of membership status.

Latest from Mishkon
Mishkon's 75th Anniversary!
To kick off a year full of celebration, we hosted an open hous event that included festive music, fun nosh as well as historical and architectural tours.
Membership Renewal
One of the great benefits of being a member of our Mishkon community is experiencing what it is to be a part of something “larger than oneself.” When it is time to celebrate, find support and healing, guidance, or nourishing friendship, sharing with this special community adds meaning and substance to our lives.
Shabbat on the Beach
We had so much fun getting together on the beach, singing songs, lighting candles, eating challah, and spending time with one another.
Shabbat at home
Surprising new connections were made at the Friday night Shabbat table as Mishkon members were matched to host families for a delightful evening of good food, camaraderie, and song. So grateful to the hosts who made it possible.
Our next Shabbat at Home will be in October. Stay tuned for exact date and time.
New YouTube Page
Mishkon has a new YouTube page! We are working to add content, but for now we have an adorable playlist titled "Shabbat Songs for Kids" and zoom recordings from previous Shabbat services.
