The World’s Largest Chanukah Menorah will be lighted on Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, near Central Park, between the Plaza and the Pierre Hotels. The first candle will be lit on Wednesday evening, December 25th. The Menorah will be lit on all evenings of Chanukah at 5:30 PM (Friday at about 3:45 PM; Saturday night at 8:30 PM).
The World’s Largest Chanukah Menorah, sponsored by the Lubavitch Youth Organization, was specially designed by world-renowned artist Yaacov Agam. Mr. Agam’s design was inspired by a hand drawing by the Rambam (Maimonides) of the original Menorah in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
The giant Menorah will be lighted nightly with genuine oil lamps. Specially designed glass chimneys will protect the Chanukah lights from the Central Park winds. For more information please call (718) 778-6000.
