Mitzvah Day is a Jewish led day of social action.  On Mitzvah Day, around the world, thousands of people take part in hands on projects, without fundraising, to support charities and to build stronger communities.

Our mission is to reduce hardship and poverty, to help our environment and to bring a little joy - hands on – no fundraising. It is a way for all of us to make our mark regardless of our affiliation, wealth, age, sex or nationality.

Mitzvah Day is based on the Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedek (righteousness) and gemilut chassadim (acts of lovingkindness).

Mitzvah Day 2011 will launch national Inter Faith Week and we look forward to supporting an increasing number of inter faith events taking place on Mitzvah Day itself.

Mitzvah Day UK became a registered charity in 2008 having launched in the UK with Founding Partner the JCC for London and based on the concept of Mitzvah Day at Temple Israel of Hollywood.
