Mishkan Shalom is blessed to draw from a broad geographic area, with an engaged, diverse, activist membership of all ages, as well as a thriving community of online participants around the world.  Our historic building is in the Manayunk-Roxborough neighborhood of NW Philadelphia. We invite you to contact Rabbi Shawn Zevit to learn more about membership. We want to make sure you have every opportunity to get to know us, and for us to get to know you, as you consider membership in Mishkan Shalom. To learn more about us, please visit our About Us page.

Ve'asu li mikdash veshachanti betocham      וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם           

Prepare me to be a sanctuary, that I may dwell within you. (Exodus 25:8)

Consistent with our values we ask that each household study and understand our Statement of Principles, agree to support our Brit HaMishkan, then make an informed decision of which Membership Commitment Level best reflects your ability to support our community through annual fully self-assessed financial commitment.

To meet the needs of all who wish to deepen their connection and commitment to Mishkan Shalom in the covenant of membership, we have membership options for "full membership" and "online friends" for digital connection from outside Philadelphia. In all cases, please contact our membership team as detailed at the top of this page, prior to filling in the membership application. In support of our covenant of community, we meet with prospective "full members" before considering any applications.
