The annual Salute to Israel Parade, which took place Sunday in Manhattan, drew over a million spectators and around 35,000 participants from 200 different organizations and delegations, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor Andrew Cuomo.
They marched up Fifth Avenue and demonstrated their love for Israel by dancing, singing and waving Israeli flags.
The parade was just one in a series of pro-Israel events that took place in New York over the weekend while the Empire State Building was being lit in blue and white.
Thousands of runners also took part in the Celebrate Israel 4-Mile in Manhattan's Central Park, which is known as a "symbolic journey through Israel, from Eilat to Tel Aviv."
"This reflects the spirit, the unity, and the diversity of the Jewish community," said Michael Miller, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, which organized the Israel Paradet.
There was an overwhelmingly diverse crowd in attendance, both orthodox and secular, Jewish and non-Jewish.
The parade has been organized for almost 50 years now.
