Charlottesville Jewish Resources
Shopping in Charlottesville
Although Charlottesville may not seem like a very "ethnically diverse" place compared to most large U.S. cities, it does pretty well for its size. Some Jewish foods and other items can be obtained locally, as indicated by the list below. This reference guide is by no means comprehensive and all suggestions for inclusion are welcome by emailing communications@cbicville.org.
Challah
BreadWorks, Albemarle Baking Company and Great Harvest make regular Challah weekly and round Challah for the High Holy Days.
Shabbat and Yahrzeit Candles
The CBI Judaica Shop carries small boxes of Shabbat candles, as do several grocery stores in town. It is sometimes difficult to find large boxes (72 candles) in the grocery stores, but the CBI Judaica Shop usually has them in stock.
Gifts/Jewelry
In addition to the CBI Judaica Shop, Quilts Unlimited has a large assortment of Judaica: artwork, plates, candlesticks, mezuzot, jewelry, etc. Lynne Goldman Elements also carries some Judaica jewelry designs.
Kosher Foods in Charlottesville
Kosher products, including several meat choices, are now available in a most convenient way! And the quality of the products and service is exceptional from online grocert services such as Relay Foods to local stores, individual providers, restaurants and farms.
