NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The world's largest menorah was lit Sunday night -- the first night of Hanukkah -- at Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza at the southeast corner of Central Park.
The menorah is 32 feet tall, 28 feet wide -- and weighs a whopping 4,000 lbs., according to Guinness World Records.
Mayor-elect Eric Adams attended the lighting of the menorah, which was designed by Israeli artist Yaacov Agam.
"The menorah was designed according to a hand drawing by Maimonides based on the original Menorah in the Holy Temple of Jerusalem and is the largest size permitted by Halacha-Jewish law," reads the Guinness World Records.
