Tony Blair says:
"I am so glad that in Nottingham, Manchester and London you have managed to draw in other faith communities to make this a truly inclusive event, and an opportunity for people of different religions to come together. This is another landmark in multi-faith volunteering in Britain and I congratulate you on it.”

 

Mayor of London Boris Johnson says:
"Get involved - that's the message of Mitzvah Day, when Londoners from all walks of life and backgrounds give some time to help a whole host of charities. Bringing together people to work on good causes, regardless of personal faith or persuasion, shows the power of what can be achieved when we work together."

 

HE Ambassador Ron Prosor, Embassy of Israel, London:
"Mitzvah Day is a noble and necessary addition to the Jewish calendar, and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the generosity, the commitment to social action, and the global awareness of the Jewish people."
