Shabbat Volunteers:

We have lots of wonderful Shabbat programming at Malkhut, and volunteers are an essential part of these programs.  When you sign up for a volunteer role at any of our programs, you will receive an email with detailed instructions as your designated date approaches.  

​

Shabbat Mornings in Jackson Heights: 

- When parents sign their children up for YISA, they are asked to sign up to volunteer 3 times.  These are the roles we need filled:

Challah:  Bring a pre-sliced challah for motzi and help pass it out when it's time.

Grape Juice:  Bring one bottle of grape juice, pour it into our kiddush cups and help distribute during kiddush.

Set up and Sign in:  This volunteer arrives at 9 am and helps set up our space with the backdrop and then welcomes and signs people in as they arrive.

Potluck Helper:  On weeks we have a potluck, this volunteer helps set up the potluck, refills plates and utensils as needed, and stays until 1:00 to help clean up.

​

Malkhut & Me in Jackson Heights:

Greeter:  At our Malkhut & Me JH sessions, each week we need a volunteer greeter to welcome and orient the families, as well as get them signed in.

Volunteer Circles

We recently created multiple volunteer circles that are responsible for the different moving parts of our Malkhut community.  You can read more about each circle and sign up to get more involved below.  You can read our full Volunteer Handbook HERE. Please reach out to Rebecca HERE with any questions.

​

​

 

We hold events in our community with a lot of moving parts!  Being in different spaces, and making sure everyone is nourished both spiritually AND physically means a lot of labor goes into setting up our physical spaces comfortably, as well as making the food accessible and organized.  As part of this circle, you may be asked to receive food deliveries,, help set up and clean up, and/or schlepp tables and chairs within a space. ​​​

​

​

Join our Community Safety circle to help us keep our gatherings welcoming yet safe and secure.  This circle requires participation in some training and a commitment to 1-2 events a year as a safety liaison.  The Community Safety Circle also holds periodic meetings on Zoom.

 

​

 

We strive to be as green and waste-free as possible. This group will work to evaluate the ways in which Malkhut can be more sustainable as a community.  Once those are established, this circle will brainstorm ways our community can become more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

 

​

​

Malkhut doesn’t have a permanent physical space, but the space we use is so important to building community and creating continuity in our environment. Our Art & Creativity Circle will work to beautify our spaces with fabric, rugs, and other items to make the space welcoming and comfortable.  One of their first and most important tasks will be working to dress/restore our Torah mantle!  The members of this circle will be called on for special events that need some beautification.

​

The below volunteer circles are only open to Malkhut Partners. Malkhut Partners make recurring, monthly donations to Malkhut and in turn get access to year-round benefits. Read more about Partnership, see the benefits, and sign up to become a Malkhut Partner HERE.​

​This circle helps us keep our Malkhutniks engaged and informed!  As a part of the circle, you may be asked to be a welcoming face as people arrive at events, as well as reach out to people new to Malkhut either at events or by phone or email. , You will also amplify information about upcoming gatherings and information about Partnership at events and on our Partnership Slack.

The Chesed Circle provides essential support for those in our community going through life events that require extra support:  new babies, deaths in the family, sickness, and any other situation where help from the community is needed and welcome.  The Chesed circle will organize and communicate meal trains, cards, and other supports.
