About Malkhut
Malkhut is a 10-year-old start up progressive Jewish spiritual community in Western Queens led by Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg. We meet in rental spaces in Jackson Heights and Long Island City and draw participants from Astoria, Sunnyside, and Woodside as well.
Malkhut’s mission is to build a creative, progressive, intergenerational Jewish community in Western Queens, open to all who wish to practice Jewish spirituality through contemplative prayer, vibrant music, spacious meditation, and interactive study, in service of cultivating more compassion, lovingkindness and peace in our own lives, our neighborhoods, and in the world.
Our vision is to build an open, inclusive community of spiritual seekers, especially for those who may not have found a home in more conventional religious settings, including Jewish individuals of all ages, families with kids, interfaith couples, Jews of color, LGBTQ folks, and curious seekers.
Women, LGBTQ individuals, people of color, and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
No one ever meets 100% of the qualifications of any job. We encourage you to apply if you feel that most qualifications reflect your experience and expertise.
