MISSION

The Congregation Mishkan Israel is an organization of individuals and families whose purpose is to sustain a belief in God and the Torah.

By observing and practicing the principles of Reform Judaism, we strive to ensure the continuity and commitment of our Jewish culture and heritage. We do this by providing a caring and welcoming environment for worship, study, inspiration, support and assembly.

We act together with the Jewish and non-Jewish communities in the Greater New Haven area in order to improve our local and global society, thus advancing Tikkun Olam (the repair and healing of the world).
