Social Groups

Mishkan Shalom’s Social Groups are a great way to get involved with the community on a social level. Whether it’s playing games together, singing together, or bonding over other shared interests/identities, our members genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

These connections bridge generational, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines and are central to the rest of the work of our sacred community. And they provide a whole lot of joy.

Read more about them below and email Daniel if you would like to participate.

Hineinu: Mishkan Community Choir

Mah Jongg

Mah Jongg provides a chance to connect on a weekly basis, in real time. Deepen your bonds with longtime friends or make new ones while you kibbutz, challenge your mind, gamble (bring your quarters) and (sometimes) nosh. Our group’s players are varied in terms of skill but always focused on fun.

We gather on the 3rd floor of Mishkan most Monday evenings September through June, 7 – 9 pm. $5 per evening, payable with cash or Venmo. Crack, Bam, Dot!

Mondays-7:00-9:00pm.

Next Play: August 11th

Young Adults of Mishkan Shalom (YAMS)

The Young Adults of Mishkan Shalom, affectionately known as the YAMS, are here to provide an inclusive, accessible, and supportive space for Jewish community joy. Members, prospective members, and allies in the greater Philadelphia area are welcome to join! The YAMS, mostly in their 20s-40s, get together for casual events throughout the year for socializing, spiritual activities, volunteering, and more.
