Manhattan Nightly Lighting of World’s Largest Menorah

The World’s Largest Menorah was designed by World-Renowned sculpture artist Yaacov Agam, the towering 36-foot menorah. Certified as the world’s largest by the Guinness Book of World Records—the menorah was inspired by a hand drawing by Maimonides of the original menorah in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Organized by the Lubavitch Youth Organization, the nightly celebration will feature a public menorah-lighting ceremony, live music, spirited dancing and Chanukah treats like donuts and chocolate gelt. Dignitaries and public officials often attend the nightly lightings.
