This Sunday November 24 was a special day at The Progressive Synagogue. Mitzvah Day is an international day of social action designed to bring people of all faiths together, and the Interfaith Contact Group of Brighton and Hove participated this year.
We want to give them a massive thank you for hosting and inviting us to their powerful event at The Progressive Synagogue, and for their incredibly thoughtful donations. Mitzvah Day started with children’s activities like baking and story telling, transforming into a friendly tea party with people from all faiths in the community. All invitees were asked to bring products and items for our food bank, from soap and laundry powder to honey, pasta, cooking oil, beans, and much more, while also collecting valuable donations on our behalf. You can see a picture of the items donations below
Meanwhile, we set up a table to answer questions and chat to many interested members and visitors about what we do at Voices in Exile, many donating, signing up to our mailing list, and buying our tote bags. We are definitely ‘Stronger with Tea.’
