Our Name ‘Malchus’
Every Jew has a unique soul, comprised of ten “soul powers.” These powers include intellectual and emotional attributes, or “sefiros.” Malchus, the feminine attribute, is the culmination of all the sefiros. Malchus is the ability to receive with complete nullification towards the giver.
Paradoxically, it also refers to kingship and dominion. Thus, it takes everything it has been given and reflects it back in a more elevated way. This can be seen in a seed which is planted deep in the ground. It is the recipient of care, sun, rain and nutrients, all for the purpose of producing beautiful trees and fruits which nourish mankind.
This is the role of the Jewish king, the Jewish people and especially the Jewish woman – to receive influence and then actively reflect it back in a more effective manner. The goal of the Malchus program is to provide the Jewish woman of today with information and inspiration so she can reflect it back to society in a more meaningful way.
