Mishkon Welcomes You!

Where Venice meets Santa Monica just steps from the beach, Mishkon has been bringing Jewish joy for over a century, and we welcome you to be a part of our vibrant community. Mishkon has a rich history of serving the Westside Jewish community for 107 years with 76 years on Main Street!

Please reach out to Mishkon's Director of Operations and Membership Fleming Brooks at office@mishkon.org or 310-392-3029 for more information and to get started with your online membership application. 

 

Please log in to your Mishkon account to access the membership renewal page.
 

If you are new to our synagogue or returning after being away for a bit, please use this form.

Just some of the benefits of membership:

  • A caring, inclusive community, there for one another through good times and bad. 
  • Our spiritual leaders: Rabbi Joshua Katzan, who sparks inspiration and edification as a teacher, musician, and genuine mensch; and Rabbi Emeritus Dan Shevitz, who regularly graces us with wisdom of Torah. 
  • Weekly Shabbat morning services brimming with Jewish learning, uplifting singing, lively discussions, and quiet inspiration – and kiddush lunch.

  • Spirited holiday celebrations: Sukkot, Hanukkah, Purim, Passover, and beyond.
  • Volunteer opportunities for Tikkun Olam (rebuilding the world) through social action programs, like Meals on Wheels, food drives with Westside Food Bank and their annual Hunger Walk, clothing drives, serving at Bread and Roses Café, and beach cleanups.
  • Tickets to High Holy Days*, our annual journey from the joy of Rosh Hashanah through an introspective Yom Kippur and our soul-stirring Ne’ilah (concluding service), plus Tashlich at the beach and popular spiritual sidetrips.

*Non-members, come for High Holy Days, and we will credit your ticket price toward your annual membership.

 

  • Free or discounted access to our full calendar of events and programs. Just some examples:
    • Sunset Shabbat and Havdalah services at the beach
    • Shabbat at Home: members inviting members to break bread in the comfort of home.
    • Mishkon Culture Club: exploring the best of Jewish L.A., from museum exhibits to comedy nights.
    • Evenings with guest cantorial soloists, like the inspirational Happie Hoffman.
    • Fun events, including whiskey tastings, community game days, movie premieres, art openings, BBQs, and dinner with a movie on December 25.

 

Dues include a yearly building assessment fee of $200 (individual), $300 (2 adults), and $350 (3 or more people) with a security assessment fee of $150 (individual), $250 (2 adults), and $300 (3 or more people).

The yearly building assessment fee is an additional charge that helps us provide the current and future facility improvements and major repairs. This fee is a shared commitment taken on annually by the entire membership of Mishkon. The security assessment fee is billed to each membership unit/household to offset the cost of necessary security required for the protection of our members as well as our facility and sacred items.
