The countdown has begun for Chief Rabbi Mirvis's Shabbat UK, just six weeks away.

More than a hundred shuls, schools and groups have signed up to special events to promote Shabbat observance and celebration.

Already scheduled is a mass challah bake beforehand in which thousands are expected to take part. Originally mooted for Brent Cross, it will take place instead at Allianz Park, the home of Saracens rugby club.

The Shabbaton Choir better start rehearsing that well-known Welsh rugby hymn, Bread of Heaven.
