Found in the event listing on Compassionate Action Network site:
On Sunday 15th November - Mitzvah Day - thousands of people will take time out of their busy schedules to make a difference in someone else's life.
You, too, can celebrate your faith through action this Mitzvah Day.
Begun as a celebration of social action in the US Jewish community, Mitzvah Day has since grown into an international multi-faith day of action.
"It challenges people of all faiths to ask themselves how their faith leads them to make a difference in a practical way," says Tony Blair. "Making someone smile, helping improve the environment and providing concrete assistance to the poor. This for me is what faith is about: meaningful, tangible, collective action."
This Mitzvah Day, you could donate your clothes to a local charity shop, help clean up a local park, or organise your co-workers to spend your lunch hour volunteering for a good cause.
It doesn't matter how you help, just as long as you're prepared to give a little bit of yourself to make a difference for someone else.
