A rally has been held to show support for people in northern Israel, which has suffered rocket attacks from Hezbollah as tensions between Israel and Lebanon escalate.
Sir Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, was one of the speakers at the rally.
Men, women and children attended the event in Kenton, north-west London, with many people holding placards that read: "Yes to peace, no to terror."
The event, lasting more than an hour, featured singing, chanting and Jewish prayers, and a live video link to a bomb shelter in northern Israel.
Organisers, the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said about 7,500 attended the rally but a police officer put the figure at between 4,000 and 5,000.
