Wine Tasting - November 15, 2025 at 7:00PM in the CBJ Social Hall
Please join us for an informative , entertaining, and social evening of wine tasting, food, and conversation. Back by popular demand, the wine tasting will once again be led by Phil Montigney from Moore Brothers Wine Company. It’s a casual affair, and Phil loves schmoozing and working the room.
Along with a full dinner and dessert, we will be tasting 5 wines throughout the evening. Perhaps you will find a new favorite wine for Thanksgiving and/or New Year’s.
Tickets are $70 each, and also looking for event sponsors.

Food Distribution Program
CBJ has partnered with the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA) to create a network for delivering groceries to housebound people in Phoenixville one Sunday a month.
We are now delivering to over 40 households in the area each month. In order to make this program as successful as possible, we need your help packing and delivering boxes! It's a small commitment with a big impact!
See the flyer for more information including delivery dates.
