Babies were blessed during a ceremony at a synagogue.

Borehamwood and Elstree Synagogue, in Croxdale Road, held the annual event, which was attended by 24 babies and 130 parents and family members.

It was led by Rabbi Kanterovitz, Rabbi Boudilovsky and Emeritus Rabbi Plancey.

Music and singing was provided by Stephen Levey and Mark Sacofsky and each baby was presented with a teddy bear and a certificate.
