Mikvah Chaya Mushka (Chabad of Palm Springs)

Booking: Chabad Mikvah page: 917-318-1038, appointment only, book 24 h ahead, $45, $80 after 10:30 PM · Chabad Appointment page lists a different mikvah line, 760-848-8250 · Google Maps lists 760-289-5420 at 425 Avenida Ortega · Chabad pages give no separate mikvah address (they show the shul at 250 E Palm Canyon Dr), so confirm location and number when booking

• Where to stay in Palm Springs: Chabad (250 E Palm Canyon Dr) sits at the south end of town. V Capri (333 E Palm Canyon, about 0.1 mi), Caliente Tropics (about 0.2 mi), Hotel California (424 E Palm Canyon, same stretch), Ace (0.3 mi) and L'Horizon (0.55 mi) are walkable. Downtown hotels such as Hilton, Kimpton Rowan, Hotel Zoso and Hyatt are about 1.4 to 1.7 miles away (Hotel Zoso is the nearest at about 1.4 mi; Ingleside Estate is about 1.0 mi), too far to walk to shul. Chabad warns some hotels use electronic locks not allowed on Shabbos, so ask for a physical key.
• Rancho Mirage side: Chabad of Rancho Mirage (72-295 Via Marta) lists the Westin (about 1.5 mi) and Marriott's Shadow Ridge (about 1 mi) as nearby stays. Neither is a short walk, so expect a 20 to 30 minute walk and ask for a room near the nearest entrance. A TripAdvisor review (Oct 2026) says Westin rooms with even numbers are upstairs with no elevator, so ask for a ground-floor room.
• Shabbat meals: Chabad of Palm Springs Shabbat Package ($395 Basic, $445 Deluxe; order by Wednesday 8 PM), its First Fridays community dinner ($36 per person) and Chabad of Rancho Mirage Shabbos in a Bag ($70 per person per meal; order by Wednesday). Order pages showed closed or unavailable on Nov 1, 2026, so call 760-325-0774 or 760-770-7785 first and ask about hotel delivery. Palm Springs takeout is pickup only (Sun-Thu 4-6 PM, so not for Shabbat).
• Kosher is thin and seasonal: Chabad of Palm Springs' kosher kitchen ran Jan 4 to Mar 7 in 2026 and the Rancho Mirage Tuesday BBQ runs Oct to June. Outside season, bring Shabbat food from Los Angeles (about 2 hours by car) or order through Chabad. Sherman's Deli is Jewish-style but not kosher. Trader Joe's and local supermarkets carry kosher items, so check each hechsher. Google also lists Kosher in Palm Springs (347-721-8782, Palm Desert); its certification was not verified.
• Heat and light: in summer walk to shul before 8 AM, and call about the evening minyan, which Chabad of Palm Springs says may not run in summer. Winter candle lighting is early (4:06 PM on Nov 6 per chabadps.com), so finish Friday errands by early afternoon.
• Pesach and day trips: Upscale Legacy ran a Pesach program at the Riviera Resort & Spa (Mar 31 to Apr 10, 2026); check totallyjewishtravel.com for new dates. Joshua Tree, the Aerial Tramway and golf or tennis outings need a car, so keep them for Sunday and never plan them for Shabbat.
• East valley: Chabad of La Quinta (Shabbat Shacharit 10 AM, Kiddush lunch) lists La Quinta Resort & Club (10-15 min walk), Embassy Suites, Residence Inn, Homewood Suites and The Chateau at Lake La Quinta. Its online kosher meal order (two days ahead) delivers to La Quinta, Indian Wells, Indio and Palm Desert; for Shabbat dinner call or text 917-207-8918. Friday night times are not posted, so call 760-709-2431.

Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Desert Synagogue / Kehillat HaMidbar: TotallyJewishTravel lists it as Orthodox at 1068 N Palm Canyon Dr but the page has no times, phone or site (rechecked Nov 2026), and Google Maps shows a 'Desert Synagogue' at 400 S Farrell Dr (760-327-4848) with no hours or denomination.

Ask Chabad of Rancho Mirage on 760-770-7785. · Kosher restaurants: a certified kosher restaurant in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage or Palm Desert was not found online as of Nov 2026 (checked Google Maps and a TotallyJewishTravel eateries page; no 2025-26 openings found). Google does list a kosher food service, Kosher in Palm Springs (Palm Desert, 347-721-8782), shown under food with its certification unverified. Ask Chabad of Palm Springs on 760-325-0774. · Chabad Indio (82741 Mountain View Ave, Indio, 760-579-3112): Google lists it as a synagogue and a review mentions Shabbat services, but no site or times were found online as of Nov 2026, so it is not added as a minyan; call to ask. · Kosher caterers shipping from Los Angeles to the desert: not found online as of Nov 2026 (two searches); the Chabad packages, Chabad of La Quinta's order form and Kosher in Palm Springs (347-721-8782, unverified) are the only Shabbat-meal sources found.
