Mitzvah Day 2023
Sunday 19 November

The theme for this year is of repairing the world and caring for the people around us. The theme aims to remind us that we can all play a part, however big or small, in helping to heal our increasingly damaged world and to reconsider the ways in which we use and misuse it.
