Light and unity were celebrated on Wednesday with a Hanukkah drone light show in Essex County.

A total of 150 drones lit up the sky above LifeTown community center.

Hundreds of people braved the cold to attend the event.

There was a fire juggling show and a menorah lighting ahead of the light show.

News 12 spoke with Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum, the organizer and CEO of LifeTown, about the event.

"Were mixing it up, we have more drones this year, and more three-dimensional stuff going so its going to be very exciting. Going to be a lot of oohs and aahs and ah's from the kids and that's what means so much to us," he says.

This is the second year that the event has been held.
