A community gathered together for a 'glow in the dark experience' to celebrate the penultimate night of Chanukah.
Jewish families attended the Kanteen Restaurant in Bushey Heath on Sunday to take part in a menorah lighting and celebration of the Festival of Lights.
The event began with a glow in the dark Chanukah experience, which featured glow in the dark crafts, games and Chanukah glow kits.
This was followed by the highlight of the event; the grand menorah lighting ceremony, which was led by Rabbi Yosef Sharfstein.
There were traditional jelly doughnuts, baked fresh from the bakery for guests.
Rabbi Sharfstein, director of Bushey Chabad, said: "The theme of Chanukah and this years unique celebration is light.
"The nature of light is that it is always victorious over darkness. A small amount of light dispels lots of darkness. Even one act of goodness and kindness,
one act of light, can make the world a better place.
"This is especially relevant considering the recent attacks on the Jewish community in London and around the world."
