Officiant who puts her heart into everything she does
Rabbi Malka is extremely personable and relatable. With the help of her premartial counseling and Love and Religion group, my husband and I were able to go into our marriage stronger and more accepting of each other. Through our interactions she was able to put together a heartfelt and personal ceremony tailored to us as a couple. The whole experience was better than I could have ever expected. Even two months after getting married we constantly have family and friends talking about how our service was one of the best they had ever been to. Rabbi Malka is such a kind soul and I feel lucky to know her.

Rabbi Malka Packer Monroe
My husband and I were married in July and had the pleasure of working with Rabbi Malka Packer Monroe as our Rabbi. We originally found her by recommendation of a friend who was married by her. We were looking for a Rabbi who would be comfortable officiating an interfaith wedding. (I am Jewish and my husband grew up more spiritual than religious). We were so pleased with the guidance and support Rabbi Malka provided us with. Not only did she help us to create a wedding ceremony which was unique to us and our vision, but she also led us to a spiritual community of other interfaith couples and provided us with guidance and support the year prior to our marriage. (Her resources and guidance ended up being so needed as we had to delay our wedding due to the pandemic) We were able to take her 6 week course on “Love and Marriage” and found the course to be timely and impactful to us. The support we found with the other interfaith couples in the group was also wonderful (especially as we all tried to navigate wedding planning amidst a pandemic).
Rabbi Malka helped us to learn about the different aspects of a Jewish wedding ceremony and she was open minded and helped us to plan a ceremony which was unique to us. She always made us feel comfortable and she is very open minded and supportive. Our ceremony was absolutely a dream and it was so meaningful to us. Most of our guests had never been to a Jewish wedding before and so many people told us that it was “the most beautiful and loving ceremony” they had ever been to. We definitely feel this way ;) Rabbi Malka helped us to make all of our guests feel welcomed and comfortable. She always included both the Hebrew and English versions of prayers during the ceremony. Rabbi Malka helped us to learn more about the Ketubah. She supported us and gave us the guidance and freedom to write it how we wished. Our Ketubah is so beautiful and personal. We cannot thank her enough for helping us to create this.
Rabbi Malka is warm, knowledgeable, open-minded, fun, silly, and a pleasure to be around. She has a joyous presence which is evident when she walks in a room. You can tell she really cares about each couple she works with. If you are considering working with her, I highly recommend. You will be so pleased. She will help you to create a beautiful ceremony and more importantly, will help guide you to lay a foundation for a more beautiful marriage. Also, if you are reading this, Mazel Tov on your engagement!

So much more than an officiant!
Rabbi Malka was a blessing from the heavens! My husband and I come from different backgrounds and practice various forms of spirituality. Malka fluidly wove the textures of our backgrounds and current beliefs into a contemporary Jewish wedding ceremony. We were happy and so were our families! Not only did she make the ceremony heartfelt, relatable and intimate, she spent many months together with us in private sessions, getting to know us and helping us better understand each other. It was far more than what I was expecting and I'm so grateful for the enriching experience! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Malka!
