Police say they are treating vandalism to a Hannukah menorah as a hate crime.
The candelabrum, known as a hanukkiah, has been in Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, for the past three years.
It featured eight branches, lit during the Jewish holiday of Hannukah.
Hertfordshire Police said the menorah, on West Riding, was reported damaged between 18:00 GMT on 28 December and 08:30 on 29 December and had blue paint thrown or poured on to it.
