Children, parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents participated together in Mitzvah Day 2017, reflecting the inter-generational theme of this year’s programme.
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, who sorted clothes for a homeless shelter with other faith leaders, said: : “Mitzvah Day promotes one of the core values and priorities of our Jewish community in a most extraordinary way. The energy, compassion and kindness with which thousands of people on Mitzvah Day give of their time for countless worthy activities never fails to inspire me.”
