Around 200 people have attended a special prayer service in memory of those killed in the terror attacks and violence in Israel.
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis led the service in Hendon, north-west London, on Sunday evening amid tight security.
He told the audience the knife attacks in Israel were comparable to the murder of Lee Rigby by extremists in London.
Some elements in the media and political world had misinterpreted the situation, Rabbi Mirvis said. But he paid tribute to Conservative Friends of Israel chairman Sir Eric Pickles MP, who attended the service.
