Sir Keir Starmer was among Mitzvah Day early-birds, volunteering once again at South Hampstead Synagogue.
He joined children on a litter-pick outside the shul premises and helped collect and pack donated items for distribution to those in need.
Hailing Mitzvah Day as a “fantastic” interfaith initiative which brought communities together, Sir Keir said he was keen to support the shul’s activities, describing its rabbi, Shlomo Levin, as an "adviser and friend.
“It’s always good to come to this synagogue,” he told the JC. “I’ve been here before it was rebuilt. I’ve been since it’s been rebuilt. It’s a fantastic place and it’s in my constituency and I feel I’m part of this community.”
