A Midsummer Night's Shabbat
Friday, July 28th at 6:00 pm
Rosenfeld's House
Though things quiet down in the summer, we're not willing to go too long a stretch without celebrating together. Join us at the Rosenfeld home for a dairy/parve vegetarian potluck Shabbat dinner at 6:00 pm, followed by an informal (outdoors?!) Kabbalat Shabbat service at around 7:00 pm.
• Please join us for a vegetarian potluck Shabbat dinner
(beginning with blessings)
Home-baked challah and lots of pasta provided
If your last name starts with A-M, please bring a vegetarian side dish (salads, veggies, chips, dips, etc.)
If your last name starts with N-Z, please bring a dessert
If your heart is set on bringing something that doesn’t fit with the above assigned food, no worries! Just bring that!
• Rabbi Sultar will lead services (outside weather permitting) starting at 7:00 PM. Please bring a beach chair or blanket to sit on.
• If you are over 65 or have an injury, please park at the top of the driveway. All others, please park on the street. Thanks.
• Please RSVP to Jodi at president@congbj.org so we can have a general idea of how many people to expect. If you forget to RSVP or decide to come at the last minute – that’s fine! Just come.
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.
Thank you to everyone who helped with Tikkun Olam/Social Action projects throughout the year! We did so many mitzvot! CBJ can be proud that we:
· delivered hundreds of grocery boxes through our Food Distribution Project
· packed over 300 Breakfast Bags for Aid For Friends,
· donated 58 adult coats plus a box full of hats, gloves and scarves to Eagleville Hospital,
· donated 52 kids coats plus a big box of hats, gloves and scarves, 3 pairs of boots, a big bag of toys and $490 in gift cards to St. Mary's shelter in Phoenixville,
· donated toiletries and nonperishable food to PACS in Phoenixville,
· donated party supplies to a local shelter and
· cleaned up CBJ on Mitzvah Day!
We have expanded the program to include more households and we need more back-up drivers, so please let us know if you are interested in helping with this wonderful project! Contact Amy Borla or Tess Casper.
