SYNAGOGUE members from Edgware will join in the good deeds day that will be sweeping the nation at the weekend.

Edgware United Synagogue, in Parnell Close, has a fun-filled day lined up as part of its involvement in Mitzvah Day, a Jewish-led initiative which encourages people across the globe to give their time rather than their money to support charities, on Sunday.

Volunteers will be encouraged to help make a vegetable patch in the synagogue grounds, prepare food parcels for people in need and help build a mountain out of donated toys and clothes for needy Jewish children in Eastern Europe and Israel.

More volunteers are also needed to help collect food, which will go to those less fortunate, outside Kosher Net, Kosher Edge and Pelters stores in Station Road, Edgware.

There will also be a box in the synagogue reception in which people are invited to donate old spectacles that will be given to Vision Aid Overseas for people in third world countries.

Musicians are also needed to perform as part of a band at the Rena Goldhill Lodge in Golders Green.
