Spiritual Life Council

The Spiritual Life of the Mishkan Shalom community is attended to by Rabbi Shawn Zevit and the Spiritual Life Council. Together they work to:

• Create and nurture a rich spiritual environment that incorporates prayer, music, art, food, ritual, dance, silence and meditation.
• Envision and articulate ideas and possibilities for members of Mishkan Shalom to further their spiritual growth, both individually and collectively.
• Serve as a liaison between the community and the rabbi, with the support of the Board Representative for Spiritual Life.
• Discuss with the rabbi spiritual questions/issues of concern to the community.
• Discuss standards of community observance and offer guidance to members.
• Be an educational resource to the congregation.
• Assist the rabbi in planning and coordinating Shabbat, holiday and summer services.
• Provide ongoing care for, and maintenance of, ritual objects.
• Use study and discussion to nourish the spiritual growth of the committee and its members.
