Who we are

Rabbi Shneor and Malka Minsky (née Scheiner) bring a shared passion for Jewish learning, community, and connection to Palm Beach Synagogue West.

Rabbi Minsky devoted years to intensive rabbinic study, while Malka enriched her knowledge and inspiration during her seminary year in Israel. Born and raised in Palm Beach, Malka carries a deep personal connection to the community and is excited to help shape its next chapter.

The couple married in March 2021 and soon after moved to downtown West Palm Beach, where they began outreach in 2021–2022. Living in the heart of the city gave them a unique perspective: they saw both the vibrant present and the immense potential of downtown’s future. Their commitment comes from a place of genuine care — this is their home, and they want to see the community grow not only physically but also spiritually.

This vision led to the opening of Palm Beach Synagogue West in September 2024, a spiritual home where the community can come together, grow, and thrive. With warmth, dedication, and joy, Rabbi Shneor and Malka continue to inspire others to build a bright Jewish future in downtown West Palm Beach.
