Loved ones of Israeli hostages attended a menorah lighting Thursday in Roslyn Heights.

Omer Neutra, a 21-year-old from Long Island, was serving in the Israeli military when Hamas terrorists captured him.

His mother was present at the event.

"The light of our lives - from the darkness of the tunnels and back into the light," Orna Neutra said. "We pray for a Hanukkah miracle."

The lighting also included performances and other Hanukkah traditions.
