Mitzvah Day
Volunteers and participation are central to much of what the JCC does, so they have established an annual volunteering day called "Mitzvah Day". Organising volunteering opportunities that make a difference to the local and London communities, over 1,200 volunteers participated in the 2008 Mitzvah Day. The 2007 Mitzvah Day was also part of the much broader Enterprise Week initiative.

Famous quotes containing the word day:
“Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.”
—Dorothy Day (1897–1980)
