Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Email Rabbi Shawn Zevit at rabbishawn@mishkan.org or call the office at 215-508-0226 before a Saturday service to ask about visiting..

What to expect

The site does not describe a first visit. Saturday Shabbat runs about 10 am to noon and is led by the rabbi and a student rabbi, in the building and on YouTube. The membership steps are spelled out, but the site does not say what a guest can do or whether a guest pays anything.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email or call ahead to ask whether guests may come to services.
  • The office is at 4101 Freeland Ave. in Roxborough, open Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 4 pm, and Friday by appointment.
  • Watch a Shabbat service on the congregation's YouTube channel first if you want a preview.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Services and public events are listed with times and a clear contact route, and the page says prospective members meet the membership team first. The site does not say whether guests may attend Shabbat..
