The RT Hon.Tony Blair says:
"I'm proud to be supporting Mitzvah Day and the thousands of volunteers taking part in this festival of social action...One act can make a huge difference. Thousands can make a huge force for change. So I urge everyone, whatever their faith or background, to get involved on Mitzvah Day and encourage their communities to join in too..."

 

Baroness Julia Neuberger says:
"I love Mitzvah Day. The fact that so many people, from different Jewish communities and other communities are out there helping in some way and gaining so much themselves is truly heartwarming. And it galvanises people into more action. Onwards and upwards."

 

Rabbi Dr Tony Bayfield, Head of the Movement of Reform Judaism, says:

"The best idea to have bee thought up in years by British Jewry. It is really worthwhile for both our own and the wider community."
