Tel Aviv has the largest Lego menorah in the world

• Lego store in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Center mall has a 136,000-brick menorah.
• The menorah is hollow and fashioned with Legos.
• Hanukkah comes after a year of unrest.

One of Israel’s first Lego stores has the world’s largest Lego menorah. Hanukkah began Sunday and continues until Dec. 26.

The Lego store in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Center mall has a 136,000-brick menorah. Yoav Gaon, CEO of LEGO Israel, claimed hundreds of youngsters and families assembled it.

The first Israeli Lego store debuted in July.

“Hundreds of kids, parents and grandparents created in the last three days the largest menorah from 130 thousands LEGO bricks – attempting to break the Guinness record,” he said. “The incredible event resulted in a menorah 4.5 meter in height and 4.4 meter in width and brought to life the values of miracles through fun, imagination and play.”

The former record holder was 13 feet tall and 13 feet broad.

The menorah is hollow and fashioned with Legos. It wasn’t glued.

Guinness hasn’t certified the menorah’s record. Taking a week.

On Thursday, Manhattan hosted the world’s largest menorah not constructed of Legos. Israeli sculptor Yaacov Agam constructed the 36-foot statue.

Hanukkah is a time of pleasure for the Jewish people, yet it comes after a year of unrest. Ukraine’s war has displaced 50,000 Jews.

Due to a power crisis, generators were dispatched to Ukraine’s Jewish communities to light the menorahs.

“They won’t break us,” Avraham Wolf, chief rabbi of Odessa, said in a report by local media, “Despite the war, despite the darkness and the cold, even though the memorial has been covered in the sand since the start of the war, today we put up a menorah which symbolizes the victory of the light over the darkness.”

7.6 million Jews live in the U.S.

More than 1,500 antisemitic incidents were reported in the US in 2022, mostly on the East Coast. ADL says
